title: EVALUATION OF STRATEGIES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF THE GUANIDINE HEMIAMINAL PORTION OF PALAU'AMINE.
abstract: Potential methods for the generation of the guanidine hemiaminal functionality of palau'mine (1) from a spirocyclic thiohydantoin precursor are examined using a spirobicyclic model system, culminating in the identification of an efficient means of effecting this transformation.
