Benzooguanamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CNH₂)₂(CC₆H₅)N₃. It is related to melamine but with one amino group replaced by phenyl. Benzooguanamine is used in the manufacturing of melamine resins. Unlike melamine ((CNH₂)₃N₃), benzoguanamine is not a crosslinker. The "benzo" prefix is historical, the compound contains phenyl, not a benzo group. A related compound is acetoguanamine.^[1]

The compound is prepared by condensation of cyanoguanidine with benzonitrile.^[2]

(H₂N)₂C=NCN + PhCN → (CNH₂)₂(CPh)N₃
