“…There are a large number of reports on the synthesis of various types of quaternary salts which have many interesting properties including ease of synthesis, high thermal stability, solubility in water and organic solvents, such as methanol, acetone, dichloromethane and chloroform, electrochemical durability, high viscosity, very low vapor pressure, and long shelf life. Due to their individual properties, these quaternary organic salts are striking in field of organic chemistry as catalysts 10,11 , phase transfer catalysts 12,13 , halogenating agents 14 , oxidative 15,16 and reductive 17 reagents in some organic reactions. Organic phosphonium salts are the structural analogs of organic ammonium salts, with expectedly similar chemical properties.…”
