China and the United States are the leading exporters of cyanogen bromide (CAS 506-68-3), accounting for the majority of global supply, while Germany, Japan, and South Korea are the largest importers, reflecting strong demand from pharmaceutical and research sectors. Import volumes into the European Union and East Asia have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest upward pressure on cyanogen bromide prices amid tightening regulatory oversight and constrained specialty chemical production capacity.
Cyanogen bromide is a colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid with a pungent, penetrating odor; it sublimes readily at room temperature and has a melting point of 52 °C. It is classified as a pseudohalogen compound and reactive organic bromide. Cyanogen bromide is primarily employed as a selective cleavage reagent for peptide bonds at methionine residues in protein chemistry and as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty heterocycles. Its principal applications are in biotechnology research reagents, peptide synthesis, and the production of cyanuric acid derivatives and certain herbicides.
Reaction with C60Ph5Cl produces a novel phenylated isoquinolino[3′,4′:1,2][60]fullerene.1
white crystalline solid
