1,5-Diazabicyclo [4.3.0] non-5-en ( DBN ) is a chemical compound from the group of the bicyclic amidines .
properties
1,5-Diazabicyclo [4.3.0] non-5-en is a clear, light yellow liquid. It is a non- nucleophilic, very strong base which, with a pK value of 13.6, is almost as strong as sodium hydroxide. The voluminous bases can attack and bind easily accessible bound protons and therefore very successfully initiate elimination reactions . However, the bases are not able to attack shielded carbon atoms nucleophilically and therefore unwanted substitution reactions cannot occur as when using NaOH as the base .
The imino nitrogen, = NR, is protonated with the formation of a mesomeric-stabilized cation. The related connection DBU has similar properties .
use
1,5-Diazabicyclo [4.3.0] non-5-ene is used for dehydrohalogenation reactions to give olefins .
