CAS 113-00-8

Guanidine

Description:

Guanidine, with the CAS number 113-00-8, is a colorless, crystalline organic compound characterized by its strong basicity and high solubility in water. It has the chemical formula HNC(NH2)2, featuring a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group and two guanidino groups. This structure contributes to its ability to act as a strong base and a versatile reagent in various chemical reactions. Guanidine is commonly used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and as a protein denaturant in biochemistry. It can also serve as a nitrogen source in fertilizers. The compound is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the environment, and it has a relatively high melting point. While guanidine is generally considered to have low toxicity, it can be harmful in large quantities, necessitating careful handling. Its derivatives, such as guanidine hydrochloride, are widely utilized in laboratory settings for their ability to disrupt protein interactions and stabilize nucleic acids.

Guanidine is a metal hydroxide that has been shown to have a high affinity for human immunoglobulin. It binds to the receptor site and inhibits the protease activity of human serum. Guanidine hydrochloride (GNDH) is an ionic compound with three different crystalline forms. It can be used as a reagent in sample preparation, such as fractionation of proteins or purification of nucleotides. Guanidine hydrochloride has been shown to have conformational properties and hydrogen bonding interactions that are similar to those found in guanidine. The reaction mechanism for guanidine hydrochloride is not yet known, but it is hypothesized that it may involve a nucleophilic attack by water followed by elimination of chloride ions and formation of the guanidinium cation.
