Application

  • Cyanogen bromide is widely used in protein immobilization[1][2] and cleavage.[3]
  • Under von Braun reaction conditions, CNBr reacts with tertiary amines to yield respective organocyanamides.[4][5]
  • It can also be used to synthesize organic intermediates like cyanuric bromide, derivatives of urea, guanidine, creatine, aryl nitriles, and a variety of heterocyclic compounds.[6][7][8][9]

Other Notes

Reagent for the selective cleavage of peptide bonds (e.g. methionine)[10][11]
