1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine

Tetramethylguanidine is an organic compound with the formula HNC(N(CH3)2)2. This colourless liquid is a strong base, as judged by the high pKa of it conjugate acid. It was originally prepared from tetramethylthiourea via S-methylation and amination, but alternative methods start from cyanogen iodide.
