Abstract

1 complementary information, we have begun to study other simple compounds rivaling 1, 4- dihydropyridines as reducing agents. Orthoamides were attractive candidates since loss of a proton and two electrons can convert them into stable guanidinium ions (eq 1). Unfortunately, however, this reaction does not ordinarily
