Synthesis and reactions

edit

Its hydrochloride salt can be synthesized by a Dieckman condensation:[3] It is a precursor to quinuclidine.

 
3-quinuclidone hydrochloride synthesis from 1-Carbethoxymethyl-4-carbethoxypiperidine

Organic reduction of 3-quinuclidone gives the compound quinuclidine, structurally related to DABCO, which has one additional bridgehead nitrogen atom.
