Mechanism proposed for the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactone to polycaprolactone by TBD.

As a strong base, TBD fully deprotonates most phenols, carboxylic acids, and some carbon acids. [7] It catalyzes a variety of reactions including Michael reactions, Henry reactions, transesterification reactions, and Knoevenagel condensations. [8]

Deprotonation at the 7-position gives a particularly electron-rich ligand as manifested in the redox properties of ditungsten tetra(hpp).

The conjugate acid of TBD is the preferred cation among the guanidinium hypoiodites, which are specialized oxidizing agents for various types of organic compounds. [9]
