R. Guilet et al., INFLUENCE OF ULTRASOUND POWER ON THE ALKYLATION OF PHENYLACETONITRILEUNDER SOLID-LIQUID PHASE-TRANSFER CATALYSIS CONDITIONS, Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 5(1), 1998, pp. 21-25
The influence of ultrasound power on the C-alkylation of phenylacetoni
trile by ethyl bromide was studied under solid-liquid phase transfer c
atalysis in the presence of potassium hydroxide and tetrabutylammonium
hydrogenosulfate, Experimental results are reported on the influence
of the ultrasonic power on the yields. The optimum efficiency of ultra
sounds is determined and the way in which ultrasound power may affect
the yields is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
