Abstract

Cyclodextrins and their derivatives act as inverse phase-transfer catalysts in the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters. The reaction is affected by temperature, choice of cyclodextrin and also by the stirring rate. Lipophilic esters are better hydrolyzed under inverse phase-transfer catalysis conditions than under classic phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. Some typical features of the reaction are emphasized and compared with classical PTC reactions.
