Abstract

The structural principles known to date serving as the basis for the design of heterocyclic compounds with anomalously high basicity (superbasicity) are reviewed. A general classification is given for such superbases as proton sponges, compounds that are similar to proton sponges but are not sponges (proton-sponge-like), and proton traps.
