Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene, which is 1-pentene in the case of 1-bromopentane. These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative. [2] It is also formed by the reaction of 1-pentanol with hydrogen bromide.
Most 2-bromoalkanes are prepared by addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene. Markovnikov addition proceeds in the absence of free-radicals, i.e. give the 2-bromo derivatives. [ 2 ]

2-Phenethyl bromide (C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 Br) is produced via this route from styrene. Hydrogen bromide can also be used to convert alcohols to alkyl bromides. This reaction, that must be done under low temperature conditions, is employed in the industrial synthesis of allyl bromide: HOCH 2 CH=CH 2 + HBr → BrCH 2 CH=CH 2 + H 2 O
β-hydride elimination occurs commonly for metal-alkyl complexes. The process transforms a metal-bound alkyl group into an alkene with the release of a metal hydride. [6] Notably, β-hydride elimination can also occur for other ligands, such as alkoxides, via similar mechanisms. Top: the β-hydride elimination of an alkyl ligand.
1-Bromopropane (n-propylbromide or nPB) is a bromoalkane with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 Br. It is a colorless liquid that is used as a solvent. It has a characteristic hydrocarbon odor.
Metallacyclobutane intermediates are involved in the alkene metathesis and in the oligomerization and dimerization of ethylene. In alkene metathesis, the Chauvin mechanism invokes the attack of an alkene at an electrophilic metal carbene catalyst. [5] [6] [7] This work helped to validate the Chauvin mechanism for olefin metathesis.
The main limitation of the traditional Wittig reaction is that the reaction proceeds mainly via the erythro betaine intermediate, which leads to the Z-alkene. The erythro betaine can be converted to the threo betaine using phenyllithium at low temperature. [18] This modification affords the E-alkene. The Schlosser variant of the Wittig reaction
