Nice work numos and I love those colours!
A couple of question I have, 1) why is BCl3 used in equimolar amounts to the dicyanobenzene (apart from the fact that the procedure calls for it!)?
2) could you use BF3 instead? I have the latter in 2 different solvents but BCl3 is harder to acquire. I suppose you would end up with a fluoride
equivalent. |
