General description

Quinuclidine is a bicyclic tertiary amine with a bridgehead nitrogen atom structure, often used in the synthesis of iodonium complexes and as a hydrogen-atom-transfer (HAT) catalyst in photo induced reactions.

Application

Quinuclidine can be used as a catalyst:
  • In the Baylis-Hillman reaction of aldehydes with methyl acrylate.
  • For the epimerization of α-methylglucose to α-methylallose.
It can also be used as a reactant to synthesize 5-[4-[2-(acetyloxy)ethyl]-1-piperidinyl]-2-pyridinecarbonitrile by reacting with 5-bromo-2-pyridinecarbonitrile in the presence of potassium acetate.

The reactivity of a variety of quinuclidine-based catalysts in the Baylis-Hillman reaction has been examined, and a straightforward correlation between the basicity of the base and reactivity has been established, without exception. The following order of reactivity was established with

Glycans have diverse physiological functions, ranging from energy storage and structural integrity to cell signalling and the regulation of intracellular processes1. Although biomass-derived carbohydrates (such as D-glucose, D-xylose and D-galactose) are extracted on commercial scales, and serve as renewable chemical
