1,3-Dibromopropane NEW

1,3-Dibromopropane is a dihalogenated propane. It is a colourless to slightly yellow liquid with sweet odor. soluble in ether, acetone and chloroform, insoluble in water. Decomposes when exposed to heat for a long time and is partially converted to 1,2-dibromopropane. Boiling with water produces propylene glycol. It is used substrate specificity of haloalkane dehalogenases. It undergoes reduction catalyzed by electrogenerated solution-phase nickel(I) salen and nickel(I) salen confined in a polymer film on the surface of a carbon electrode to afford cyclopropane and propylene, respectively.

1,3-Dibromopropane is used to prepare C3-bridged compounds through C-N coupling reactions. It is used in the preparation of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,7-diphenylimidazo- [2,1-b]-thiazine-6(7H)-one by reacting with potassium salt of 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin.
