1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane, also known as quinuclidine, is a bicyclic amine with a nitrogen atom at the 1- and 4-positions of the bicyclic structure. This compound features a rigid, strained structure that imparts high basicity and nucleophilicity to the nitrogen atoms. It is commonly used as a strong organic base and as a catalyst in chemical reactions, especially in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Quinuclidine is also explored for its potential in drug development, particularly in neurology.
