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 organocatalyzed addition of several malonates to 1,4-benzoquinones affords benzofuranones bearing a quaternary stereocenter with good enantioselectivity. This reaction is an intramolecular desymmetrization since it proceeds through the formation of an arylated achiral malonate that cyclizes to give the reaction

[reaction: see text] The ionic liquid-bound quinuclidine catalyzed Baylis-Hillman reactions were investigated. The IL-supported catalyst showed equally good catalytic activity as compared with its nonimmobilized counterpart. The corresponding Baylis-Hillman adducts were obtained in moderate to high yields in all the

Knowledge of the relative stabilities of alane (AlH(3)) complexes with electron donors is essential for identifying hydrogen storage materials for vehicular applications that can be regenerated by off-board methods; however, almost no thermodynamic data are available to make this assessment.
Varinder K Aggarwal et al.
The Journal of organic chemistry, 68(3), 692-700 (2003-02-01)
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
