Introduction	n-propyl bromide is a colorless transparent liquid, is a kind of industrial chemical products. 1-bromopropane is a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid, neutral or slightly acidic, sensitive to light, M. P.-110 ℃, B. P. 71 ℃, the relative density of 1.357(20 ℃),n20D is 1.4341, can be mixed with alcohol, ether in any proportion, slightly soluble in water.
Application	n-propyl bromide can be used in the manufacture of medicines, pesticides, dyes, spices, etc, it is also used as a Grignard reagent raw material and an alkylating agent for aromatic compounds, an intermediate for the drug propylthiamine, and probenecid.
preparation	hydrobromic acid was added to concentrated sulfuric acid, followed by addition of N-propanol and heating under reflux for 0.5h. All of the generated bromopropane was distilled off at 70-75 °c, then washed with concentrated hydrochloric acid and neutralized to pH 7 with sodium carbonate. It was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was Distilled. The 69-74 ° C. Fraction was collected to obtain bromopropane.
Use	1-bromopropane as a raw material for organic synthesis, used in the synthesis of organic phosphorus insecticide, propylsulphur phosphorus, propylphosphine bromide, etc., can also be used in medicine, dyes, perfume industry, as well as Grignard reagent raw materials. It is used in the manufacture of medicines, pesticides, dyes, spices, etc. It is also used as the raw material of Grignard reagent, the drug propylthiamine, and the intermediate of probenecid. used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry 1-bromopropane as a raw material for organic synthesis, it is used in the synthesis of organophosphorus insecticides and acaricides, such as sulfur, phosphorus, can also be used in medicine, dyes, spices industry, and as raw materials for the synthesis of Grignard reagents for medicine, pesticides, dyes, spices and other organic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry for medicine, pesticides, dyes, it is also used as a raw material of Grignard reagent, a drug propylthiamine, and an intermediate of probenecid.
production method	(1) from N-propanol and hydrobromic acid reaction. Hydrobromic acid was added to concentrated sulfuric acid, then n-propanol was added, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 0.5h. All of the generated bromopropane was distilled off at 70-75 °c, then washed with concentrated hydrochloric acid and neutralized to pH 7 with sodium carbonate. It was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was Distilled. The 69-74 ° C. Fraction was collected to obtain bromopropane. (2) from N-propanol and sodium bromide reaction. N-propanol, water and sodium bromide were heated to reflux, and sulfuric acid was added dropwise at a temperature of 69-72 ° C. After addition, reflux was continued for 2 hours. The distillate at 68-100 °c was collected by distillation, washed with sodium carbonate solution until neutral, and then distilled to collect the distillate at 68-76 °c, namely bromopropane. In addition, n-propanol can also be reacted with bromine in the presence of red phosphorus to produce bromopropane. There are two main methods for preparing bromopropane. (1) from n-Propyl alcohol and hydrobromic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid derived from the role. CH3CH2CH2OH[HBr]→ [H2SO4]CH3CH2CH2Br hydrobromic acid was added to concentrated sulfuric acid, then n-propanol was added, and the mixture was heated to reflux for 0.5h. The generated bromopropane was distilled off at 70-75 ℃, and then washed with concentrated hydrochloric acid, then, the mixture was neutralized with sodium carbonate to pH = 7, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was Distilled. The 69-74 ° C. Fraction was collected to obtain bromopropane. (2) from N-propanol and sodium bromide reaction. CH3CH2CH2OH[NaBr]→[H2SO4]CH3CH2CH2Br N-propanol, water and sodium bromide were heated to reflux, and sulfuric acid was added dropwise at 69~72 °c for 2H. Distillate at 68~100 °c was collected by distillation, washing with sodium carbonate solution until neutral, and then distillation, 68~76 deg C distillate is collected as bromopropane.
