Abstract
The cationic core of inverse micelles of metal sulfonates in hydrocarbon solvents has a catalytic microenvironment like a molten salt but it is easily available to hydrocarbon-soluble reactants. Not only can a wide variety of cations be used as catalysts, but mixed cation micelles provide the intimate contact between unlike cations desirable for many special catalysts. The acidity of cations is not appreciably masked by the weak basicity of the sulfonate anions, and acid-catalyzed reactions are shown to depend strongly on which cations are used.
