Aliquat 336 is used as a phase transfer catalyst, [2] including in the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene to 1,6-hexanedioic acid . [3] 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. [4]
Aliquat 336 was used in the total synthesis of manzamine A by Darren Dixon in an early step to the electrophile. [5]
Aliquat 336 has been used for the extraction of metals, it does so by acting as a liquid anion exchanger. It is often used while diluted in hydrocarbon solvents such as aromatic kerosene . It is possible to use it in aliphatic kerosene but in such solvents often a phase modifier (typically a long chain alcohol) must be added to prevent the formation of third phase.
