The field of phase transfer catalysis is a tribute to the chemists
involved in process development research. Phase transfer catalysis
is a solution to numerous cost and yield problems encountered
regularly in industrial laboratories. In fact, much of the early
work in this area was conducted by industrial chemists although the
work was not labelled phase transfer catalysis at the time. We
certainly do not intend to minimize the contributions of academic
chemists to this field, but it is an unalterable fact that much of
the early understanding and many of the early advances came from
industrial laboratories. A special tribute is due to Dr. Charles
Starks of the Continental Oil Company. By the mid sixties, Starks
had formulated the principles of phase transfer catalysis and had
applied for patents on many reactions that others were later to
examine in somewhat greater detail. His mechanistic model of phase
transfer catalysis still stands up well today and is a model for
much of the thinking in this area. It is fitting that Starks
suggested the name "phase transfer catalysis" by which the whole
field is now known. We wish to thank a number of people who have
aided us in many ways in the preparation of this volume. We very
much appreciate the helpful discussions and insights provided by
Drs. Henry Stevens and Andrew Kaman of PPG Industries in Barberton,
Ohio. We also thank Dr. L. A.
