Propanoyl bromide, also known as propanoyl bromide or propionic acid bromide, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H5BrO. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is characterized by a pungent odor, typical of acyl halides. This compound is highly reactive, particularly with water, leading to the formation of propanoic acid and hydrobromic acid upon hydrolysis. Propanoyl bromide is used as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, facilitating the introduction of the propanoyl group into various substrates. It is also utilized in the preparation of esters and amides. Due to its reactivity, it is important to handle propanoyl bromide with care, as it can cause severe burns and irritation upon contact with skin or mucous membranes. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, are essential when working with this compound.
