Abstract: The syntheses of a-hydroxyarylacetic acids with a good yield in the presence of different phase transfer catalysts(PTC) under sonication were studied. The results obtained are superior to those by other similar methods. The data show that β-cyclodextrin(β-CD) is more efficient than other PTC. The preliminary reaction conditions are also discussed.

Key words: α-Hydroxyarylacetic acid, Phase transfer catalyst, Sonication
