Triazabicyclodecene

Triazabicyclodecene (1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene or TBD) is a commercially available bicyclic strong guanidine base (pKa = 25.98 in CH3CN and pKa = 21.00 in THF). TBD is an organic soluble base that has been used effectively for a variety of base-mediated organic transformations such as:[4]

Scheme 1. Caprolactone polymerization. TBD is used as a catalyst in the ring opening polymerization of caprolactone to polycaprolactone. TBD acts as a bifunctional catalyst with simultaneous acyl transfer and hydrogen bonding.[6][7]
Scheme 2. Deprotonation of C–H acid. TBD can be considered as a very interesting agent for studies of the proton transfer reaction reactions and formation of the hydrogen-bonded chains with phenols and C–H acids.[8]
