Polymer that acts as a phase-transfer
catalyst and thereby causes a significant enhancement of the rate of a reaction between two
reactants located in neighboring phases owing to its
catalysis of the
extraction of one of the reactants across the
interface to the other phase where the reaction takes place.
Notes:
- Polymer phase-transfer catalysts in the form of beads are often referred to as triphase
catalysts because such catalysts form the third phase of the reaction system.
