Question

convert 2 bromo propane to 1 bromopropane......send me in pic

Answer 1

the correct answer is attached

Answer 2

$CH_3-CH(Br)-CH_3+KOH\rightarrow CH_3-CH=CH_3+HBr\\CH_3-CH=CH_2+HBr\rightarrow CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-Br$.

• In the first step, 2-Bromopropane is teated with alcoholic KOH or potassium hydroxide in presence of heat and HBr is removed and produces 1-propene.
• In the second step, 1-propene undergoes reactions with hydrogen bromide or HBr to produce the desired product 1-Bromo propane.
• The balanced reaction is written as follows-
• $CH_3-CH(Br)-CH_3+KOH\rightarrow CH_3-CH=CH_3+HBr\\CH_3-CH=CH_2+HBr\rightarrow CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-Br$.
