Guanidines in Organic Synthesis
Publication History
Publication Date:
07 February 2006 (online)
Abstract
Guanidine is categorized as an organic superbase, yet its synthetic application is immature despite its wide potential utility. The role of guanidine in organic synthesis, including asymmetric reactions, is discussed herein.
