Nitrodibromoacetonitrile: An Agent for Bromination and for the Formation of Adducts Formally Derived from Cyanonitrocarbene.

摘要

The reactions of nitrodibromoacteonitrile (NDBA) with alkenes, aromatic compounds, amines, and sulphides have been studied. Products were formally derived from bromine or nitrocyanocarbene except for bis(2-bromocyclohexy)nitroacetonitrile, an adduct (2:1) obtained from cyclohexene and NDBA. 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene was converted into 3-cyano-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4-5-dihydroisoxazole 2-oxide and 2,3-dibromo-2,3-dimethylbutane. Keywords: Reprints, Organic chemistry, NDBA, Copper, Benzene, Benzoyl cyanide, Nitrodibromoacetonitrile, Bromination, Cyanonitrocarbene. (JG)
