General description

Cyanogen bromide (CNBr) is a halogen halide. Its utility as a condensing agent during chemical ligation of oligodeoxyribonucleotides has been reported.[1] Its threshold photoelectron (TPE) spectrum has been recorded under high resolution.[2] The cryopolymerization of CNBr on irradiation has been investigated.[3]

Application

Cyanogen bromide may be used:
  • To activate polysaccharides for coupling with erythrocytes.[4]
  • As an oxidizing agent in the urine thaimine assay.[5]
  • In the preparation of 2-amino-5-(2′-thienyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole.[6]
Reaction with C60Ph5Cl produces a novel phenylated isoquinolino[3′,4′:1,2][60]fullerene.[7]

Cyanogen bromide was found to condense oligodeoxyribonucleotides on a complementary template in aqueous solution. Optimum conditions for this vigorous and effective reaction were developed. CNBr proved to be useful for incorporation of phosphoramidate or pyrophosphate internucleotide bonds in DNA duplexes.
