Malononitrile → Potassium bromide--dibromopropanedinitrile (1/1/1)

A mixture of 99 g of malononitrile and 75 g of potassium bromide in 900 ml of water was cooled to 5°-10° and 158 ml of bromine were slowly added at 5°-10° during 21/2 hours. After addition was completed, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 5°-10°, then was filtered. The collected solid was washed with 150 ml of ice-water and air-dried on the filter. A second crop was obtained by filtering the filtrate after a short quiescent period. The isolated solids were combined and dried to constant weight in a desiccator over phosphorus pentoxide (the presence of bromine vapors necessitated replenishing the phosphorus pentoxide) to give 337.5 g of the complex, which was used without further purification.
