ACTIVITY OF DABCO: CATALYTIC SCOPE IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS

Abstract

1,4-DiAzaBiCyclo[2.2.2.]octane (DABCO) is a good neucleophile and base in number of organic reactions and gaining particular importance as catalyst in synthetic organic chemistry. Catalytic applications of DABCO in various reactions such as cycloaddition reaction, coupling reaction, Baylis-Hillman reaction, Henry reaction, ring opening reaction etc. are noteworthy in synthesis of novel organic scaffold. In this article it is tried to overview the recent development of DABCO catalysed reaction as well as its use in heterocyclic synthesis.
