Cyanogen bromide

Description:
Cyanogen bromide (CNBr) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a pungent odor, primarily used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in biochemical applications. It is a highly toxic compound, classified as a potent irritant to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes. Cyanogen bromide is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, and it can hydrolyze in the presence of moisture to form cyanide and bromide ions, which pose significant health risks. The compound is known for its ability to react with amines and thiols, making it valuable in peptide synthesis and protein modification. Its molecular structure features a linear arrangement of carbon and nitrogen atoms, with a bromine atom bonded to the carbon. Due to its hazardous nature, handling cyanogen bromide requires strict safety precautions, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated fume hood. Proper storage conditions are essential to prevent degradation and ensure safety.
