Aliquat 336 (Starks' catalyst) is a quaternary ammonium salt used as a phase transfer catalyst and metal extraction reagent. It contains a mixture of C8 (octyl) and C10 (decyl) chains with C8 predominating.
Applications
Aliquat 336 is used as a phase transfer catalyst,[1] including in the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene to 1,6-hexanedioic acid.[2] This reaction is more environmentally friendly. It is an example of green chemistry, compared with the traditional method of oxidizing cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone with nitric acid or potassium permanganate, which produce hazardous wastes.
Aliquat 336 was used in the total synthesis of Manzamine A by Darren Dixon in an early step to the electrophile.[3]
