Reaction Steps

The amine produced in Procedure 90, 14.5 g. (0.079 mole) was dissolved in 50 ml. of methanol and treated with a solution 9.1 g. (0.086 mole) of cyanogen bromide in 30 ml. of methanol in dropwise fashion. The warm solution was cooled to room temperature which resulted in the formation of a precipitate.
