P-Anisidine → [(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyanobromide (0.6 eq) in diethyl ether, a solution of 4-methoxy phenyl amine (1.0 eq) in diethyl ether was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Salt separated out was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to afford the desired 4-methoxy-phenyl-cyanamide in good yield.
