Phase Vanishing Reactions

Phase vanishing (PV) reactions are a specific subgroup of reactions which use a fluorous phase, generally fluorous solvents, as a liquid membrane.  The liquid membrane keeps substrates separated from reactants.  The reactant can then diffuse through the fluorous phase to … Continue reading
