Bromocyclopropane is a organobromine compound with the chemical formula C3H5Br.[2] It is a member of haloalkane family.

Synthesis

[edit]

The compound can be obtained by treating silver cyclopropanecarboxylate with bromine:[3]

C3H5CO2Ag + Br2 → C3H5Br + AgBr + CO2

Chemical properties

[edit]

Reaction with magnesium, using diethyl ether as solvent, only gives about 25–30% of the cyclopropylmagnesium bromide Grignard reagent, with nearly as much cyclopropane formed by alternate reactions on the metal surface.[4]

The compound isomerizes on heating to produce 1-bromopropene and 3-bromopropene.[5]

Physical properties

[edit]

The compound is a flammable liquid that causes skin irritation and serious eye irritation. It is soluble in chloroform and methanol. Insoluble in water.[6]
