uses | organic synthesis intermediates, solvents. Epoxy bromopropane is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. |
production method | mix 1000 ml1, 3-dibromo-2-propanol and 1500ml of water evenly, add 400g of calcium hydroxide (88%) in batches, and stir while adding. Then 400g of calcium hydroxide was added again, and epoxy bromopropane was evaporated under reduced pressure. The distillate was dried by anhydrous sodium sulfate, distilled, and the fraction at 134-136 ℃ was collected as the finished product to obtain 1130-1200g with a yield of 84-89%. |
