Bicyclic amidines, especially DBN and DBU, have recently become of interest, principally because of their use as dehydrohalogenation reagents. The use of these compounds in the introduction of double bonds, as well as in various base-catalyzed reactions, is the subject of this review. 1. Preparation of DBN and DBU 2.
