Description

Application
Allyl bromide can be used as a reagent to prepare Allyl ketones by Barbier-type allylation of various nitriles in the presence of Lewis acid. Homoallylic alcohols by reacting with aldehydes or ketones using zinc dust as a catalyst. 15-hexadiene by reductive C-C bond coupling using silver hydride cluster.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Allyl bromide (3-bromopropene) is an organic halide. Allyl bromide is an alkylating agent used in synthesis of polymers pharmaceuticals allyls and other organic compounds. Physically allyl bromide is a clear liquid with an intense acrid and persistent smell. In addition allylzinc bromide may be produced by treating this compound with elemental zinc.
