In efforts to optimize a manufacturing process for an internal development compound, a clean, efficient approach to guanidine synthesis using <span class="TH_term3">chloroformamidine hydrochloridespan> was identified. To investigate the general utility of this methodology towards electron-deficient <span class="TH_term6">aromatic aminesspan>, a set of favorable conditions were developed from a series of screens, and the scope of the reaction was probed. The successful application of this chemistry to a variety of pyridines, anilines, and heterocyclic compounds highlights its use as an improved, alternative guanylation method for this often challenging set of <span class="TH_term6">aromatic aminesspan>.
