General description

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is a bicyclic compound used as a strong base and catalyst in organic synthesis.[1]

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.
1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO, triethylenediamine), a caged tertiary diamine, is a commonly used strong hindered amine base in chemical synthesis.[2] It can also be employed as a complexing ligand and as a catalyst.[3] Its gas-phase electronic absorption spectrum,[4] vibrational spectra,[3] multiphoton ionization (MPI), and two-photon fluorescence excitation (TPFE) spectra[5] have been recorded and analyzed. Proton magnetic resonance (PMR) studies of DABCO in solid state were conducted in order to determine its line width, second moment, and spin-lattice relaxation time.[6]

Application

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) may be used in the synthesis of isoxazole derivatives via dehydration of primary nitro compounds in the presence of dipolarophiles.[2] DABCO may be used in the preparation of the following:[7]
  • DABCO bis(perhydrate)
  • DABCO monohydrate
  • DABCO hexahydrate

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  3. What is the storage temperature for the D27802 ? I was used to use the D2522 and it was kept at 4°C.

    1 answer

    1. D27802 is 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane that can be stored at room temperature but in inert environment. The product should still be suitable to use at 4°C.
