Guanidine HNC(NH2)2 is a stronger base than methylamine, CH3NH2. I am confused by this because I assumed that the least stable compound would be the most basic. Guanidine is resonance-stabilized, which means it should be less basic than methylamine. Methylamine would be more reactive/nucleophilic/basic because comparatively it lacks any resonance stabilization.
