A continuous-flow process for the in situ on-demand generation of cyanogen bromide (BrCN) from bromine and potassium cyanide that makes use of membrane-separation technology is described. In order to circumvent the handling, storage, and transportation of elemental bromine, a continuous bromine generator using bromate-bromide synproportionation can optionally be attached upstream. Monitoring and quantification of BrCN generation was enabled through the implementation of in-line FTIR technology. With the Br-2 and BrCN generators connected in series, 0.2 mmol BrCN per minute was produced, which corresponds to a 0.8m solution of BrCN in dichloromethane. The modular Br-2/BrCN generator was employed for the synthesis of a diverse set of biologically relevant five-and six-membered cyclic amidines and guanidines. The set-up can either be operated in a fully integrated continuous format or, where reactive crystallization is beneficial, in semi-batch mode.
