In this paper, trans-alkenes were selectively synthesized in micellar media in high yields under very mild and effective reaction conditions. The cationic as well as the crown ether micellar systems have similar catalytic effect on the olefination, and the catalytic systems formed by the cationic and crown ether surfactants are far-forth superior to the anionic micellar system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
