Abstract

The nature of the quat-anion interactions in a PTC/OH- system was probed by examining the reactivity and selectivity of a CA/O-ambident anion towards an alkylating agent in the presence of various quats. It is suggested that the accessibility of the positive N center of the qual for association with the anion is the major factor in determining the behavior of PTC/OH- reactions proceeding through the Makosza mechanism.
