N-Cyanoimides via the cyanation of imides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919108019808

The conversion of cyclic imides to the corresponding N-cyanoimides has been carried out using cyanogen bromide as the nitrile source. This methodology provides a convenient route for the preparation of both aromatic and aliphatic N-cyanoimides.
