Question

Can i use another solvent and phase transfer catalst agianst dimethyl sulfoxide

Answer 1

The reaction can be accomplished in a biphasic system of an inexpensive nonpolar aprotic solvent and water without using DMSO or DMF which are high-polar solvents. A phase-transfer catalyst is soluble in both solvents, and it carries anions of inorganic salts into organic solvents and returns them into the water phas
