✦ Synopsis
The synthesis of S-alkylated cysteine derivatives was carried out successfully in the presence of 1,1,3,3tetramethylguanidine. Alkylation proceeded in high yields on unprotected amino acids and peptides containing a sulfhydryl group.

## Abstract Herein we report on the synthesis and characterization of the adduct 1,1,3,3‐tetramethylguanidine–borane, H~3~B·N(H)C(NMe~2~)~2~, and a general inspection of the bonding properties of guanidine adducts to BH~3~. The new compound was characterized by its vibrational, NMR and mass spectra
Treatment of 2-methyl-2-hydroxy-6-alkyl-3,5-diacetylenes with powdered NaOH was used for the synthesis of terminal 1-alkyl-1,3-butadiynes that can be isolated (54-97%) or used in situ. In an attempt to increase the yields of some of the obtained products, different experimental conditions were studi
