106-96-7

A colorless to light yellow liquid substance with a sharp odor. Flash point 65°F. Denser than water and insoluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. May be irritating to skin and eyes. Used to make other chemicals. 3-BROMOPROPYNE(106-96-7) may decompose explosively with mild shock.

3-BROMOPROPYNE is soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulfide. 3-BROMOPROPYNE is highly flammable and a dangerous fire risk, sensitive to shock. 3-BROMOPROPYNE is used in organic syntheses, preparation of resins and perfume intermediates [Hawley]. There is a high danger of formation of explosive metal acetylides, when this compound comes in contact with copper, high-copper alloys, mercury, or silver.

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Flammable, dangerous fire and explosion risk. Irritant.

This material is very toxic via the oral route. If inhaled, may be harmful; contact may cause burns to skin and eyes.

This material detonates at 428F or more; ignites by impact. Emits highly toxic fumes of bromides when heated to decomposition. Reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. Becomes shock-sensitive when mixed with chloropicrin. Unstable, avoid heat, flame, shock, and other chemicals

Propargyl bromide is a Shock sensitive liquid, lachrymator. Supplied as an 80% solution in toluene stabilized with magnesium oxide. Alternative formulations are currently under development.

Add hydrogen bromide and solvent into the reaction flask, in the presence of CuBr and Cu catalyst, add propargyl alcohol dropwise with stirring, after the drop is completed, the temperature is slightly raised to react, and then post-processing, rectification to obtain bromopropane. alkyne. Reaction equation: CH≡C-CH2OH+HBr→CH≡C-CH2Br+H2O or the product can also be obtained by reacting propargyl alcohol with (PhO)3PBr2 in the presence of pyridine.
It is derived from the reaction of propargyl alcohol with phosphorus bromide. The propargyl alcohol was added to pyridine under cooling, and phosphorus tribromide was slowly added dropwise with stirring at -5°C, and the reaction temperature was maintained below 0°C. After the addition was completed, stirring was continued for 15 min. Then, vacuum distillation is performed to collect all the distillate, and fractional distillation is carried out again under normal pressure to obtain the finished product. Or add a small amount of pyridine to dry propargyl alcohol, add phosphorus tribromide and a small amount of pyridine solution dropwise at 0 °C under stirring, stir for 20 min after dropping, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain the product. Reaction equation: CH≡C-CH2OH+PBr3→CH≡C-CH2Br

Mode of action is considered to be reaction with nucleophiles in living organisms.

Reacts slowly with water to yield propargyl alcohol and bromide ion. It is expected to move as a typical fumigant through the soil. Probably not an ozone-depleting substance due to decomposition on absorption of ultraviolet light.
