1-Bromohexane

1-Bromohexane is organobromine compound with formula Br(CH2)5CH3.

Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene.

These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative.

[2] 1-Bromohexane undergoes reactions expected of simple alkyl bromides.

[3] It reacts with potassium fluoride to give the corresponding fluorocarbons.

NFPA 704 four-colored diamond Health 1: Exposure would cause irritation but only minor residual injury. E.g. turpentine Flammability 2: Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperature before ignition can occur. Flash point between 38 and 93 °C (100 and 200 °F). E.g. diesel fuel Instability 0: Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water. E.g. liquid nitrogen Special hazards (white): no code
