摘要
2,6-Disubstituted pyridines and 2,6,7-trisubstituted quinuclidines are screened as potential strong bases. The relative proton affinities of the bases are computed at PBE1PBE/6-311 G(d,p) in the gas phase and in the solution phase (THF) at the same level with the IEFPCM treatment. Basicities are enhanced by the lone-pair possessing atoms on the substituents' arms stabilizing the conjugate acid through hydrogen bonding. The strongest bases are 2,6-bis(3-methoxy-2-furyl)-4-dimethylaminopyridine and 2,6-di(2-dimethylaminoethyl)pyridine
