In short, 2-bromopropane plays an important role in many fields due to its unique chemical properties.
What are the physical properties of Bromopropane?
2-Bromopropane is also an organic compound. It has unique physical properties. Looking at its properties, it is a colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature, and has an ether-like odor.
In terms of its density, it is heavier than water, about 1.31 g/cm ³. This property makes 2-bromopropane settle at the bottom when mixed with water.
As for the boiling point, it is about 59.4 ° C. When heated to this temperature, 2-bromopropane gradually changes from liquid to gaseous, and gasification occurs. Its melting point is -89 ° C, and it will condense into a solid state at low temperatures.
The solubility of 2-bromopropane is also an important physical property. It is slightly soluble in water, but it can be miscible with organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, and benzene. Because the molecular structure of 2-bromopropane has a similar polarity to that of organic solvents, it can be miscible with each other according to the principle of "similar miscibility".
In addition, 2-bromopropane is volatile and can evaporate slowly in air. Its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture. In case of open flame and high heat, it can cause combustion and explosion. When using, take precautions to ensure safety.
2. What are the chemical properties of Bromopropane?
2-Bromopropane is also an organic compound. It has the general properties of halogenated hydrocarbons, and its chemical properties are quite active, and it can participate in many chemical reactions.
First, nucleophilic substitution reactions are also. The halogen atom bromine is quite exoteric, and it is easy to be replaced by nucleophilic reagents when encountering nucleophilic reagents. If it is co-heated with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, the bromine atom is replaced by a hydroxyl group to obtain 2-propanol. The reaction formula is: (CH
Second, eliminate the reaction. If 2-bromopropane is co-heated with an alcohol solution of sodium hydroxide, the hydrogen bromide is removed to form propylene. The reaction formula is: (CH
Third, when it interacts with metallic magnesium, it can form Grignard's reagent. In an anhydrous ether environment, 2-bromopropane reacts with magnesium to obtain isopropyl magnesium bromide, that is, (CH
CHBr + Mg $\ xrightarrow [] {anhydrous ether} $ (CH
CHMgBr. Grignard reagents are widely used and can react with carbonyl compounds to form carbon-carbon bonds, which is important in the field of organic synthesis.
Fourth, they can also react with reagents such as sodium alcohol, and follow the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution or elimination reaction. The products vary depending on the reaction conditions.
2-bromopropane is a common raw material in the organic synthesis industry due to its active chemical properties. Through various reactions, a variety of organic compounds can be prepared, which is of great significance to the development of organic chemistry and chemical production.
What are the synthesis methods of 2-Bromopropane?
To make 2-bromopropane, there are two methods. First, the addition of propylene and hydrogen bromide. Propylene, with unsaturated double bonds, hydrogen and bromine in hydrogen bromide, each with its own properties, interact with the double bond of propylene. Hydrogen, with a tendency to be positively charged, first combines with one end of the carbon of the double bond, so that the other end of the carbon is positively charged, and the negative bromine ion is attached. According to the Markov rule, hydrogen is added to the carbon containing more hydrogen, and bromine is added to the carbon containing less hydrogen. This addition method can obtain 2-bromopropane. The reaction is as follows: $CH_3CH = CH_2 + HBr\ stackrel {appropriate conditions} {\ longrightarrow} CH_3CHBrCH_3 $.
Second, react with hydrobromic acid with 2-propanol. The hydroxyl group of 2-propanol has the activity of nucleophilic substitution. The bromine ion in hydrobromic acid is a nucleophilic reagent, attacking the carbon connected to the hydroxyl group of 2-propanol, and the hydroxyl group combines hydrogen protons to form water and leave to obtain 2-bromopropane. The reaction formula is: $CH_3CH (OH) CH_3 + HBr\ stackrel {appropriate conditions} {\ longrightarrow} CH_3CHBrCH_3 + H_2O $. These two methods have their own lengths, depending on the ease of availability of raw materials, the difficulty of reaction, and the purity of the product.
What to pay attention to when storing and transporting Bromopropane
2-Bromopropane is an organic compound that is flammable and toxic. When storing and transporting, special attention should be paid to the following matters:
First, the storage place must be cool and ventilated. Because it is volatile when heated, in a high temperature environment, it will not only increase the risk of leakage, but also the volatile vapor is mixed with air, which is easy to form an explosive mixture. In case of open flame and high heat, it can cause combustion and explosion. Therefore, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources, and the storage temperature should not exceed 30 ° C.
Second, it needs to be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc., and should not be mixed. 2-Bromopropane in contact with oxidants may cause violent chemical reactions, or even explosions; in contact with acid and alkali, or reactions such as hydrolysis may occur, causing it to deteriorate.
Third, the storage container must be well sealed. To prevent 2-bromopropane from leaking and volatilizing, one is to avoid pollution to the environment, and the other is to prevent its vapor from accumulating in the air and causing safety accidents. The container material used should be able to withstand the corrosion of 2-bromopropane, and containers such as steel or specific plastic materials are commonly used.
Fourth, when transporting, make sure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or damage. The transportation vehicle should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. It is best to transport in the morning and evening in summer to avoid high temperature periods. During transportation, it is necessary to prevent exposure to the sun, rain and high temperature. When transporting by road, it is necessary to drive according to the specified route and do not stop in residential areas and densely populated areas.
Fifth, operators need to undergo special training and strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter gas masks (half masks), chemical safety glasses, anti-poison penetration overalls, and rubber oil-resistant gloves to avoid direct contact and ensure personal safety.
