Abstract

Aromatic, aliphatic and sterically hindered amines react smoothly with commercially available N,N'-bis-BOC-S-methylisothiourea 2 in the presence of mercury chloride to give the protected guanidine in good yield. It is particularly noteworthy that 2 can also be employed in a straightforward, two-step synthesis of monoaryl internal guanidines.
