In alkane solvents quinuclidine is a Lewis base that forms adducts with a variety of Lewis acids. It is classified as a soft base and its donor properties are discussed in the ECW model.

The compound is structurally related to DABCO, in which the other bridgehead is also nitrogen, and to tropane, which has a slightly different carbon frame.

Quinuclidine is found as a structural component of some biomolecules including quinine.
