Cyanogen Bromide → HCID 12614474, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 0.36 g of cyanogen bromide, 2.28 g of potassium carbonate in 10 ml of chloroform is added dropwise a solution of 1.0 g of 10-[β-(dimethylamino)ethylthio]dibenz[b,f]oxepin, Example 8, in chloroform. After total addition the reaction mixture is refluxed for 2 hours and the solvent removed leaving an oil. The oil is dissolved in 10 ml of methanol and the methanolic solution refluxed for 10 minutes and again concentrated to recover the oil. The oil is chromatographed through a silica gel column with an eluant of ether. The top fraction is collected and concentrated leaving a white solid, mp 106°-107° C. of 10-[β-(bromo)ethylthio]dibenz[b,f]oxepin.
