Description and Uses

Butyl bromide is a highly flammable, colorlessliquid with a pleasant odor. Molecular weight = 137.04.Boiling point =101.6℃; Specific gravity (H2O:1) = 1.276at 20℃; Freezing/Melting point = 2112.4; Vapor density(air 5 1) = 4.68; Flash point =18℃ (21℃ for sec-isomer).Autoigniton temperature = 265℃. Explosive limits:LEL =2.6% at 100℃; UEL =6.6% at 100℃. HazardIdentification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):Health 2, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0. Insoluble in water.

1-Bromobutane is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a solvent for cleaning and degreasing. It acts as an alkylating agent as well as to prepare organometallic compounds such as n-butyllithium. It is also involved in the synthesis of procaine and tetracaine. It reacts with magnesium metal to prepare the Grignard reagent, which is used to form carbon-carbon bonds.
