INTRODUCTION

1-Bromohexane is an organic liquid belonging to the category of alkyl bromides or bromoalkanes. Its reactivity is due to presence of bromine in the allylic position. Apart from being a useful solvent in organic synthesis, it is used in synthesis of various intermediates.

Manufacture
It is manufactured from hexene by using HBr. The process involves addition for bromine free radical across the pi bond in the substrate alkene.

Synonymsn-Hexyl bromide
