Overview of 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)

1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) is a strong, non-nucleophilic bicyclic amidine base widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and polymer chemistry. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is highly valued for its high basicity and low nucleophilicity, which allow it to catalyze reactions efficiently without unwanted side reactions.

DBU is commonly applied as a catalyst in condensation, alkylation, and polymerization reactions, as well as in pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemical synthesis. Its stability and effectiveness under mild conditions make it a preferred base in industrial and laboratory-scale organic synthesis.
