Guanidine, N'-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-

Description:

Guanidine, N'-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a guanidine structure, which includes a central carbon atom bonded to three nitrogen atoms, one of which is hydroxylated and two of which are dimethylated. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of polar functional groups. It exhibits basic properties, which are common to guanidine derivatives, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coordination with metal ions. The hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis and as a reagent in biochemical processes. Additionally, this compound may have implications in medicinal chemistry, although specific biological activities would depend on further studies. Safety data indicates that, like many guanidine derivatives, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and irritant properties.
