Nitrogen-bound diazeniumdiolated amidines.
Chem Commun (Camb) 46(31):5799-801 (2010) PMID 20589293
In contrast to amidines bearing ionizable alpha-CH bonds, which react with nitric oxide (NO) to add diazeniumdiolate groups at their alpha-carbons, benzamidine forms an N-bound diazeniumdiolate that can be further derivatized at the other amidine nitrogen and/or the terminal oxygen to form caged NO compounds as potential NO prodrugs.
