We report the synthesis and potential chirality of ortho ‐phenylenebisguanidines (BGs) with substituents at C(3) and C(6). Guanidinylation of 3,6‐disubstituted benzene‐1,2‐diamines with 2‐chloro‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐dimethyl‐1 H ‐imidazolium chloride gave the corresponding BGs. X‐Ray crystallography showed that the two guanidine moieties occupy different faces of the benzene ring, creating potential chirality, although optical resolution of t Bu‐substituted BG by chiral HPLC failed. However, a methylated acyclic bisguanidinium salt (BGms) was obtained as a chiral crystal with a space group of P 2 1 2 1 2 1 .
