C. Gravierpelletier et al., NUCLEOPHILIC OPENING OF EPOXIDE BY GUANIDINE - A ROUTE TO POTENTIAL SUBSTRATES OR INHIBITORS OF NO SYNTHASES, Synlett, (3), 1996, pp. 275
An efficient method for the synthesis of monosubstituted guanidines ha
s been developed through the regiospecific nucleophilic opening of an
epoxide by free guanidine followed by in situ selective N,N'-bis-benzy
loxycarbonyl protection of the guanidine moiety.
