An operationally simple and rapid copper-catalyzed three-component synthesis of trisubstituted N-aryl guanidines involving cyanamides, arylboronic acids, and amines is performed in the presence of K2CO3, a catalytic amount of CuCl2·2H2O, bipyridine, and oxygen (1 atm).

Palladium-catalyzed alkene carboamination reactions between acyclic N-allyl guanidines and aryl or alkenyl halides provide substituted 5-membered cyclic guanidines in good yield. This method allows access to a number of different cyclic guanidine derivatives in only two steps from readily available allylic amines.

A silver-catalyzed hydroamination of tosyl-protected N-allylguanidines provides substituted cyclic guanidines in high yields. The reactions can be used for construction of quaternary stereocenters as well as both monocyclic and bicyclic guanidine products.

A novel electrophilic one-pot reaction of an olefin, a cyanimide, an amine, and N-bromosuccinimide enables the synthesis of a number of guanidine derivatives with very good yields - including an rTRTVI precursor.
