Quaternary ammonium salts are readily prepared and show good reactivity in various organic transformations via C–N bond cleavage. In this review we summarize reactions of aryl, benzyl, allyl and propargyl quaternary ammonium salts including cross-coupling with organometallic reagents, as arylation o...
