Organocatalysts are the promising alternative for transition metal catalysts and hence become one of the hot research topics in advanced organic chemistry. Achievements by using piperidine, imidazole, DMAP, L-proline, brucine, strychnine, mcmillan's catalyst etc. have been mentioned in number of reports. However, the utility of diethylamine as a catalyst has been rarely investigated. Available reports disclose the potential of diethylamine to catalyze variety of organic transformations. Ambient reaction conditions, avoidance of conventional workups, ease of availability, ease of handling and cost effectiveness are the major traits of diethylamine as a catalyst.
