1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, or more commonly DBU, is a chemical compound and belongs to the class of amidine compounds. It is used in organic synthesis as a catalyst, a complexing ligand, and a non-nucleophilic base.

This compound is also an alkaloid isolated from the sponge Niphates digitalis.[1]

Regalado hypothetic biosynthesis of DBU

It is used as a curing agent for epoxy; it is used as a protecting agent for the synthesis of cephalosporin. It is used in fullerene purification with trimethylbenzene (it reacts to C70 and higher fullerenes but not to C60 fullerenes); and it is also used as a catalyst for polyurethane. It has a strong catalyst effect for the reactions of alicyclic and aliphatic isocyanates.
