The synthesis of p-cyanobenzenesulfonyl cyclohexylguanidine was performed by direct condensation of equal molar quanities of p-cyanobenzenesulfonyl chloride with cyclohexylguanidine hydrochloride in an aqueous-acetone solution. Also p-cyanobenzenesulfonyl n-butylguanidine was synthesized by the same procedure. The imino-ester hydrochloride was prepared from p-cyanobenzenesulfonyl cyclohexylguanidine by saturating a solution of the nitrile in ether and absolute ethanol at room temperature with dry hydrogen chloride. The p-N-n-propyl carbamidino was then prepared from the iminoester hydrochloride; i.e., N' - [(p-carbethoxyimino) benzenesulfonyl] cyclohexylguanidine hydrochloride.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C.
