Abstract

Phenyltrimethylstannane has been found to react with cyanogen chloride in methylene chloride in the presence of aluminium chloride to give benzonitrile in 60% yield; o-, m-, and p-tolyltrimethylstannane similarly give o-, m-, and p-tolunitrile, respectively. With cyanogen bromide the aryl bromides are formed. Phenyltrimethylsilane does not react with cyanogen chloride in the presence of aluminium chloride, but gives bromobenzene when treated with cyanogen bromide in methylene chloride in the presence of aluminium chloride.
