DABCO octane

Hydroxy-3-methylenetrldecan-2-one (2). A solution of decanal 1 (3.12 g, 20 mmol), methyl vinyl ketone 2 (1.4 g, 20 mmol) and 1,4-diazablcyclo-octane (DABCO) (0 33 g,... 

B. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate. A solution of 20.0 g. (0.076 mole) of di-i-butyl tricarbonate in 75 ml. of carbon tetrachloride is placed in a 600-ml. beaker fitted with a magnetic stirrer, and 0.10 g. (0.0009 mole) of freshly sublimed l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is added (Note 9). Rapid evolution of carbon dioxide begins at once. The reaction mixture is stirred at 25° for 45 minutes to complete the loss of carbon dioxide (Note 10), and then 35 ml. of water, containing sufficient citric acid to make the aqueous layer slightly acidic, is added. The layers are separated and the organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated at 25° with a rotary evaporator. The residual liquid is distilled under reduced pressure to separate 13.3-15.1 g. (80-91%) of di-butyl dicarbonate as a colorless liquid, b.p. 55-56° (0.15 mm.) or 62-65° (0.4 mm.) n T> 1.4071-1.4072 (Note 11). 

Together with a shift of the proton from the a-carbon to the alkoxide oxygen, the tertiary amine is eliminated from the addition product to yield the unsaturated product 3. Early examples of the Baylis-Hillman reaction posed the problem of low conversions and slow reaction kinetics, which could not be improved with the use of simple tertiary amines. The search for catalytically active substances led to more properly adjusted, often highly specific compounds, with shorter reaction times." Suitable catalysts are, for example, the nucleophilic, sterically less hindered bases diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) 6, quinuclidin-3-one 7 and quinuclidin-3-ol (3-QDL) 8. The latter compound can stabilize the zwitterionic intermediate through hydrogen bonding. ... 

The easiest access to most benzyllithium, -sodium, or -potassium derivatives consists of the deprotonation of the corresponding carbon acids. Hydrocarbons, such as toluene, exhibit a remarkably low kinetic acidity. Excess toluene (without further solvent) is converted into benzyllithium by the action of butyllithium in the presence of complexing diamines such as A. Af.Af.jV -tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) or l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) at elevated temperatures1 a procedure is published in reference 2.

Triethylene diamine (TEDA also known as l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, or DABCO) is a powerful catalyst with a high selectivity for gellation. One reason... 

In the presence of a base such as l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or tri-alkylphosphines, conjugated carbonyl compounds such as esters and amides add to aldehydes via the a-carbon to give a-alkenyl-P-hydroxy esters or amides. This sequence is called the Baylis-Hillman reaction and a simple example is...

Preparation of Reagent and Labelling Procedures. The structure of F-D [2-(2,4-diazobicyclo-2,2,2-octyl)-4-(5-aminofluoresceinyl)-6-morpholinyl 1,3,5-triazine] has been confirmed by its FAB-MS, IR, and H-NMR spectra (9). Briefly, F-D was synthesized by the treatment of fluorescamine isomer I with cyanuric chloride, then reaction with morpholine and DABCO (l,4-diazobicyclo-2,2,2-octane), as illustrated... 

The high selectivity that the system shows to pyrazine 20 compared to the stronger base pyridine, indicates that the diamine is chelated between the carboxylic acid functions as in 21. Spectroscopic evidence in the form of upfield shifts in the NMR spectra of the complexes supports such structures. Not only aromatic diamines are accommodated but also aliphatics such as l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in complex 22. Typically, exchange rates into and out of these complexes are such that they appear fast on the NMR time scale at ambient temperature, but exchange can be frozen out at low temperatures20. For DABCO, an activation barrier of 10.5 kcal M 1 was observed at Tc = 208 °K.

Diethylzinc forms a colorless monoadduct with l,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (dabco) 34 and an orange-colored bis-adduct with acridine.79 The mono-dabco adduct, Figure 14, crystallizes in the form of infinite zigzag chains, in which each diethylzinc moiety bridges two dabco units. The coordination environment about zinc is distorted tetrahedral, with Zn-C and Zn-N bonds ranging from 1.93(3) to 2.10(2) A and from 2.24(2) to 2.37(2) A, respectively. 

The reaction of dabco (l,4-diazobicyclo[2.2.2]octane) with Me2Cd yields a 1 1 adduct 197, which adopts a linear polymeric structure (Figure 34).255 The cadmium atom is coordinated by two dabco units and two methyl carbon atoms giving rise to a distorted tetrahedral environment. Finally, the organocadmium adduct 198 (Figure 35) has been isolated from the reaction of Me2Cd with Cd[(SeP-/-Pr2)2N]2.256 The solid-state structure consists of dimeric units where each methylcadmium unit is coordinated to three selenium atoms. The geometry about the cadmium center is tetrahedral with a Cd-C distance of 2.16 A, which is comparable to that observed in other cadmium alkyl complexes. 

Alkyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)acrylates are versatile functionalized monomers and synthetic building blocks. Conventional preparations employ the Baylis-Hillman reaction which involves the addition of formaldehyde to the parent acrylate ester, catalyzed by l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). These reactions typically take several days at room temperature, but can be achieved within minutes in the CMR and MBR (Scheme 2.4). Rapid heating under pressure prevents loss of formaldehyde. Subsequent cooling limits hydrolysis of the product, as well as dimerization and polymerization [33],... 

The side products of the reaction between benzoylnitromethane 279 and dipolarophiles (norbornene, styrene, and phenylacetylene) in the presence of l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) were identified as furazan derivatives (Scheme 72). The evidence reported indicates that benzoylnitromethane gives the dibenzoylfuroxan as a key intermediate, which is the dimerization product of the nitrile oxide. The furoxan then undergoes addition to the dipolarophile, hydrolysis, and ring rearrangement to the final products (furazans and benzoic acid) <2006EJ03016>.
