What is the specificity of cyanogen bromide?


The mechanism figure needs to be adjusted so it doesn't appear to begin with an SN2. It also has this weird little 4 membered ring transition state going on in the actual cleavage step. If it's in water, there's no shortage of proton acceptors; why overcomplicate it? Also, the cited article for the mechanism figure...gets the structure of BrCN wrong.

Organic synthesis[edit]

it seems that getting cyanamides from amines, works with tertiary amines too. but only with non-cyclic ligands. http://acta.chem-soc.si/52/52-1-80.pdf Sadorkan (talk) 11:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
