2,4,4,6-Tetrabromocyclohexa-2,5-dienone in the presence of triphenylphosphine as a specific reagent for nucleophilic substitution in cyanohydrins
Abstract
A convenient method for the synthesis of α-bromonitriles from aliphatic cyanohydrins using the 2,4,4,6-tetrabromocyclohexa-2,5-dienone complex with triphenylphosphine was developed.
