Compound Q&A
How is 2,3-Dibromopropanol (CAS: 96-13-9) typically synthesized?
Answer
2,3-Dibromopropanol is commonly synthesized via the bromination of propylene glycol. This process involves treating propylene glycol with bromine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum bromide (AlBr₃). The yield is typically high, with good selectivity for the 2,3-dibromopropanol product.
