von Braun (BrCN) reaction and its extension carried out on imipramine resulted in the formation of N-cyano, N-amido and N-dimethyl amino-(diamine) derivatives. On the other hand, chloroquine on reaction with BrCN yielded three cyano derivatives. All these derivatives have been characterized through spectral studies.
