N-Propyl Bromide (1-Bromopropane)
N-Propyl Bromide (1-Bromopropane) is a high-quality organobromine compound manufactured and sold in large quantities by Tethys Chemical. This colorless liquid is widely used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. It is created by reacting N-Propanol with Bromine, and its characteristic hydrocarbon odor is well-recognized in industrial settings.
Due to its free-radical addition to the corresponding alkenes, N-Propyl Bromide plays a crucial role in the synthesis of other organic chemicals. However, it has been classified as a reproductive toxicant under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations, making it a substance of very high concern.
The material can be stored in closed containers at room temperature under ambient conditions to maintain its quality and efficacy.
