2-Bromo-1-propene(CAS: 557-93-7)

2-Bromo-1-propene (CAS: 557-93-7) is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 117.00 g/mol. It has a slight bromine odor and is poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is moderately reactive, especially with bases and reducing agents, and can undergo bromination and polymerization reactions.

2-Bromo-1-propene is typically synthesized via the bromination of propene using bromine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction is carried out in an organic solvent, and the yield can be up to 85% with good selectivity. The brominated propene can be purified by distillation.

2-Bromo-1-propene (CAS: 557-93-7) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain brominated compounds, in the polymer industry as a monomer for producing specific types of polymers, and in the chemical industry for the production of brominated products with specific properties.

When handling 2-Bromo-1-propene (CAS: 557-93-7), it is essential to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. It should be handled in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials, and the area should be washed down with water. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on handling and storage.
