1,5,7-Triazabicyclo [4.4.0] dec-5-en as bicyclic guanidine is a very strong base that is used in a variety of base-mediated reactions in organic chemistry.

Manufacturing

The cumbersome multi-step synthesis, starting from 1,3-diaminopropane and carbon disulfide (CS 2 )

Synthesis of triazabicyclodecene from 1,3-PDA

and a more recent alternative route with the expensive starting materials tetramethylorthocarbonate and hydrobromic acid is superior to the preparation of triazabicyclodecene from bis (3-aminopropyl) amine and carbon disulfide in the presence of a strong acid, such as. B. para -Toluenesulfonic acid , which provides TBD in 86% yield.

The most efficient synthetic route to 1,5,7-triazabicyclo [4.4.0] dec-5-en seems to be the reaction of guanidine or cyanamide with bis (3-aminopropyl) amine in the presence of strong acids, whereby with elimination of ammonia TBD in 95-97% yield is formed.

properties

1,5,7-Triazabicyclo [4.4.0] dec-5-en is a white to light yellow crystal powder that dissolves in water, ethanol, acetonitrile and other solvents such as toluene, THF, DMSO and dichloromethane.

As a bicyclic guanidine derivative, TBD is a very strong base whose basicity (pKa value = 26.2) is between that of the amine base 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine TMG (pKa value = 13.6) and the phosphazene P 4 - t -Bu (pKa value = 42.7).

Applications

1,5,7-Triazabicyclo [4.4.0] dec-5-ene catalyzes the isotope exchange H → D in ketones and carboxylic acid esters , such as methyl phenylacetate , already at room temperature with high yields of up to 97%.

As a strong base, TBD catalyzes aldol condensations , such as. B. the reaction of benzaldehyde with heptanal to jasmine aldehyde

Jasminaldehyde synthesis with TBD

The liquid base TBD can be precipitated by introducing CO 2 , isolated by filtration and recovered by heating to 130 ° C. under protective gas.

The aminolysis of carboxylic acid esters is catalyzed by TBD, e.g. B. in the reaction of methyl phenylacetate with benzylamine .

Amidation of methyl phenyl acetate with TBD

Under optimized conditions (30% TBD, 75 ° C) the amide is formed in 94% yield.

Even at low dosages (0.1%), TBD catalyzes the ring-opening polymerization of lactones to form polyesters , such as B. from lactide with the initiator benzyl alcohol in methylene chloride to polylactic acid , in 99% yield within 20 seconds.

ROP of lactide with TBD

With other cyclic esters, such as γ-valerolactone and ε-caprolactone , polymers with useful molecular weights can be obtained in high yields within 0.5 h or 8 h at higher TBD concentrations (0.3 or 0.5%) .

The six-membered δ-valerolactone , but not the considerably more reactive, four-membered β-butyrolactone , also provides the corresponding polyester with low polydispersity (PDI) Q under TBD catalysis .

ROP of delta-valerolactone with TBD

The low Q values ​​of the resulting polymers indicate the presence of living polymerization .

Cyclic carbonates, such as. B. 1,3-Dioxan-2-one (trimethylene carbonate) or nitrogen-containing eight-membered cyclocarbonates can be polymerized and copolymerized with triazabicyclodecene to give functional polycarbonates.
