The solid-phase synthesis of trisubsituted guanidines is reported via
aza-Wittig coupling of a solid-supported alkyl iminophosphorane with a
n aryl or alkyl isothiocyanate to generate the corresponding solid-sup
ported carbodiimide which is then reacted with a primary or secondary
amine to afford the desired trisubstituted guanidines. (C) 1997 Elsevi
