N-[(4-bromophenyl)methyl]aniline

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of cyanogen bromide (3.18 g, 30 mmol), and (4-bromophenyl)methyl aniline (11.25 g, 61 mmol) in ether (50 mL) was stirred for 3 days under nitrogen. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate evaporated, and the residue flash chromatographed on silica gel using 9/1 Hexane/acetone to give (4-bromophenyl)methylcyanamide (2 g, 16%). The mixture was filtered the filtrate evaporated the residue flash chromatographed on silica gel using 9/1 Hexane/acetone
