Question

convert propan2ol to bromopropane

Answer 1

when 2 propanal is reacted with alcoholic KOH then propene is formed.when again propene is reacted with hydrogenbromide and pentoxide then it gives bromopropane.

Answer 2

Following are the steps needed to convert propan-2-ol to bromopropane :->

• Firstly, propan-2-ol is heated in the presence of alcoholic KOH which leads to production of propene. This reaction is called as dehydrohalogenation.

• Now, propene goes under Anti-Markovnikov addition reaction. It is reacted with Hydrogen Bromide (HBr) and peroxide to form the required compound, Bromopropane.
