Bromcyclopropan

BeschreibungCyclopropyl bromide is also named as Bromocyclopropane. It is used in organic synthesis, for instance, for the formation of a Grignard Reagent, cyclopropyllithium. It is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and agrochemical products.

VerwendenBromocyclopropane is primarily used an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. It is also used in the production of cyclopropyl boric acid. It is used as an intermediate in organic synethesis.

synthetischeBromocyclopropane has been prepared by the Hunsdiecker reaction by adding silver cyclopropanecarboxylate to bromine in dichlorodifluoromethane at 29° (53% yield) or in tetrachloroethane at 20° to 25° (15–20% yield). Decomposition of the peroxide of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid in the presence of carbon tetrabromide gave bromocyclopropane in 43% yield. An attempt to prepare the bromide via the von Braun reaction was unsuccessful. Ten percent yields are reported for the photobromination of cyclopropane and the photochemical rearrangement of allyl bromide. Treatment of 1,1,3-tribromopropane with methyllithium prepared from methyl bromide furnishes a 60–65% yield of bromocyclopropane.
