1,5-Diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) is a chemical compound with the formula C7H12N2.Savoca, Ann. C. "1,5-Diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene" in Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (Ed: L. Paquette) 2004, J. Wiley & Sons, New York. 10.1002/047084289X.rd010.pub2 It is an amidine base used in organic synthesis. A related compound with related functions is 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The relatively complex nature of the formal names for DBU and DBN (hence the common use of acronyms) reflects the fact that these compounds are bicyclic and contain several functional groups.
Synthesis
DBN could be synthesized in the following manner, similarly to DBU:Möller, F.; Oediger, H. "1,5-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-5-ene, a New Hydrogen Halide Acceptor" Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. , 1967, 5, 76. 10.1002/anie.196700761

The synthetic procedure starts with a Michael addition of 2-pyrrolidone to acrylonitrile, followed by hydrogenation, and finally dehydration.
Uses
As a base in organic synthesis
Similar to many other organic bases, DBN could be employed for dehydrohalogenation reactions, base-catalyzed rearrangement reactions, as well as Aldol condensation.Oediger, H., Möller, F., & Eiter, K. "Bicyclic Amidines as Reagents in Organic Syntheses" Synthesis, 1972, 11, 591–598. 10.1055/s-1972-21943 Several examples are shown below:
