This and similar vic-amidino (hetero)aromatic acids also could be synthesized from corresponding 1,2-dinitriles by hydrolysis in aqueous MeOH catalyzed by an equimolar amount of NaOH of in situ generated 1,1-dimethoxy-1H-isoindol-3-amine or its counterparts. Protonation of the synthesized amidino acids, esterification, and reamination of the parent amidino benzoic acid with N-nucleophiles were performed.

Ges. 1886; 19: 1491 22 Synthesis of Amidino Acids 5a,c–e; General ProcedureMethod A To a solution of NaOH (0.4 g, 10 mmol) in aq MeOH (25 mL; MeOH–H2O, 3:2) 1,2-dinitrile (10 mmol) was added, and the obtained suspension was brought to reflux with stirring. The resulting clear solution was refluxed for 15–20 min before the elimination of ammonia began. Then the hot reaction mixture, if necessary, was filtered through cotton wool in order to separate the phthalocyanine impurities. The solution was left to cool at r.t. overnight during which time well-firmed crystals were formed. The crystals were filtered off, washed with MeOH (10 mL), and dried in air. Acidification of the mother liquior with AcOH (ca. 1 mL) to neutral pH produced an additional portion of target product. Method B To a freshly prepared solution of MeONa obtained by dissolving sodium metal (0.23 g, 10 mmol) in MeOH (15 mL), 1,2-dinitrile (10 mmol) was added. The resulting suspension was stirred at ambient temperature until TLC showed no starting nitrile. The obtained solution or suspension was diluted with distilled water (10 mL), brought to reflux with stirring, and kept under reflux for 20–25 min before the elimination of ammonia began. The further workup was as in method A. 2-Carbamimidoylbenzoic Acid (5а) Method А; colorless crystals of MeOH solvate (ca. 1:0.7) which lost MeOH on standing in air; yield 1.34 g (72%); mp 179–180 °С.
