8. There is little consensus in the literature over the use of the terms guanylation and guanidinylation. For a thorough discussion of guanidine terminology as used in the scientific community, see: Jones, J. H. J. Peptide Sci. 2002, 8, 285-287.
9. The term guanyl has officially been superseded by the term carbamimidoyl, and this conversion should technically be referred to as a carbamimidoylation; however, this is a rather laborious term and is rarely used in the literature.

49. This terminology is different from that proposed by Jones, who does not distinguish between the two reaction types and favors the use of guanidinylation to describe the conversion of an amine to a guanidine (see ref 5).
50. Unprotected guanidines, which are considerably more nucleophilic than their carbamate-protected counterparts, can be further functionalized under a variety of conditions, including conjugate addition, addition to aldehydes/ketones, and nucleophilic displacement. For some representative examples, see refs 18-20.
