What is the PTC catalyst in chemistry?
PTC, Phase Transfer Catalyst, phase transfer catalyst PTC is the role of a reaction from one phase to another phase to participate in the reaction to promote a solvent can be dissolved in organic solvents and a solvent insoluble in the ion Reagents react between the two reagents. And this type of reaction is collectively referred to as phase transfer catalytic reaction.
