What is the specificity of cyanogen bromide?

The mechanism figure needs to be adjusted so it doesn't appear to begin with an SN2. It also has this weird little 4 membered ring transition state going on in the actual cleavage step. If it's in water, there's no shortage of proton acceptors; why overcomplicate it? Also, the cited article for the mechanism figure...gets the structure of BrCN wrong.

it seems that getting cyanamides from amines, works with tertiary amines too. but only with non-cyclic ligands. http://acta.chem-soc.si/52/52-1-80.pdf Sadorkan (talk) 11:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
