Introduction
Bromoisopropane (also known as 2-bromopropane) is an organic compound.
Quality:
Bromoisopropane is a colorless liquid with a peculiar odor. It is soluble in alcohols, ethers and some organic solvents, and is poorly soluble in water. It is a flammable liquid that burns easily when exposed to a fire source.
Use:
Brominated isopropanes are commonly used in chemical laboratories as reagents in organic synthesis, e.g. for alkylation, halogenation, and dehydrogenation of olefins. It can also be used as an intermediate in solvents, extractants and pesticides.
Method:
Brominated isopropane can be prepared by the reaction of isopropanol with hydrogen bromide (HBr). The reaction conditions are generally carried out under acidic conditions, such as the formation of 2-bromopropane and water under the action of sulfuric acid.
Safety Information:
Bromoisopropane is a toxic compound that is irritating and toxic to humans. Exposure to or inhalation of its vapors can cause irritation of the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Long-term exposure may cause damage to the central nervous system. When using, care should be taken to avoid contact with the skin, inhalation or ingestion. Use should be done in a well-ventilated area with appropriate protective measures such as gloves, glasses, and a face shield. When storing and handling, avoid contact with fire sources and store in a cool and dry place. When disposing of waste, it should be disposed of safely in accordance with local regulations.
