The reaction of acetyldemissidine and acetylsolanidine with cyanogen bromide is described and the results of the lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the bromo-cyanamides so produced are discussed. The hydrolysis of acetyldemissidine bromo-cyanamide under very mild conditions caused a retro-von Braun reaction to afford the initial alkaloid.
