Cyanogen Bromide → 4-bromophenylcyanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of cyanogen bromide (5.0 g, 47 mmol) and 4-bromo-2-ethylaniline (20.6 g, 103 mmol) in diethylether (150 mL) was stirred for 3 days under nitrogen atmosphere. The amine hydrobromide was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo at room temperature and triturated with hexane to give 4-bromophenylcyanamide (2.3 g, 10%) as an off white solid. HRMS: calcd for C9H9BrN2+H+, 225.00218; found (ESI-FTMS, [M+H]+), 225.00277.
