“…Therefore, their synthesis has been extensively explored. Generally, the known methods include (1) the reactions of amines with S , S -dimethyl- N -tosyliminodithiocarbonimidates, dimethyl cyanoimido-dithiocarbonates, isothiocyanates, − or carbon disulfide; (2) cyclization of guanidino-alkynes; (3) intramolecular alkylation of guanidines; (4) reactions of unsaturated molecules with azridines, and so forth . Very recently, oxidative amination and radical cascade cyclization methods were also successfully applied to the synthesis of cyclic guanidines .…”
