Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-cyano-N-methyl-3-toluidine (0.47 g, 3.22 mmol) and 1-naphthylamine.HCl (0.54 g, 3 mmol) in a 5 ml round bottom flask was heated in a preheated oil bath at 170°-190° C. for 3 h under N2. The dark brown solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, and it became a rocky solid. The crude product was flash chromatographed on silica gel to yield N-(1-naphthyl)-N'-(m-tolyl)-N'-methylguanidine.HCl (40% yield) as a white powder.
