• Hypernucleophilic catalyst. Greatly accelerates the acylation of hindered, including tertiary, alcohols; reviews: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 17, 569 (1978). Chem. Soc. Rev., 12, 129 (1983).

Chem., 50, 560 (1985). In the Yamaguchi method of macrocyclic lactonization the mixed anhydride formed with 2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoyl chloride, L14159 is cyclized with 2 equiv. of DMAP; high dilution conditions are not required: Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 52, 1989 (1979). For improved method in a high yield synthesis of erythronolide A, see: J. Org. Chem., 55, 7 (1990).

Chem., 50, 3618 (1985), and for smooth decarboalkoxylation of enolizable ?-keto esters in toluene containing a small amount of water: J. Org. Chem., 54, 3474 (1989). Under these conditions, other bases (N,N-dimethylaniline, pyridine, tetra-n-pentylammonium bromide) are ineffective.

• Also useful as a catalyst for various alkylations.
