2-Bromo-1-chloropropane, C 3 H 6 BrCl, is an alkyl halide. This simple compound has a chiral center and is used sometimes to determine the enantiomeric resolution of simple chromatographic methods. References
2-Bromopropane, also known as isopropyl bromide and 2-propyl bromide, is the halogenated hydrocarbon with the formula CH 3 CHBrCH 3. It is a colorless liquid. It is a colorless liquid. It is used for introducing the isopropyl functional group in organic synthesis . 2-Bromopropane is prepared by heating isopropanol with hydrobromic acid .
A chiral molecule is a type of molecule that has a non-superposable mirror image. The feature that is most often the cause of chirality in molecules is the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom. [16] [17] The term "chiral" in general is used to describe the object that is non-superposable on its mirror image. [18]
Chiral molecules will usually have a stereogenic element from which chirality arises. The most common type of stereogenic element is a stereogenic center, or stereocenter. In the case of organic compounds, stereocenters most frequently take the form of a carbon atom with four distinct (different) groups attached to it in a tetrahedral geometry.
Chiral molecules can differ in their chemical properties, but are identical in their physical properties, which can make distinguishing enantiomers challenging. Absolute configurations for a chiral molecule (in pure form) are most often obtained by X-ray crystallography , although with some important limitations.
Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.

1-Bromo-3-chloropropane is an organohalogen compound with the formula Br(CH 2) 3 Cl. It is a colorless liquid, produced by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to allyl chloride. [1] It is used as an alkylating agent to install the –(CH 2) 3 Cl [2] [3] and –(CH 2) 3 – groups. [4] For example, it is a precursor to 4-chlorobutyronitrile.
