In alkane solvents quinuclidine is a Lewis base that forms adducts with a variety of Lewis acids.

The compound is structurally related to DABCO, in which the other bridgehead is also nitrogen, and to tropane, which has a slightly different carbon frame.

Quinuclidine is found as a structural component of some biomolecules including quinine.
