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