Description

2-Bromohexane is an organic compound and a chemical building block. It is produced by the reaction of 1,3-dibromohexane with copper. 2-Bromohexane is used in the production of epoxides and other chemicals. The synthesis of 2-bromohexane starts with the addition of bromine to 1,3-dibromohexane followed by the addition of copper (II) chloride. This reaction produces 3-bromohexane as a byproduct which can be removed from the reaction mixture using a Dean-Stark trap. In this process, two moles of hydrogen are used to convert one mole of bromine into one mole of hydrogen bromide gas, which can be easily condensed into liquid form. The monoalkylation product 2-bromohexane reacts with an alkyl halide to produce a mixture containing two different alkyl halides. These
