Bromocyclopropane is a organobromine compound with the chemical formula C3H5Br. [2] It is a member of haloalkane family.
The compound can be obtained by treating silver cyclopropanecarboxylate with bromine: [3]
Reaction with magnesium, using diethyl ether as solvent, only gives about 25–30% of the cyclopropylmagnesium bromide Grignard reagent, with nearly as much cyclopropane formed by alternate reactions on the metal surface. [4]
The compound isomerizes on heating to produce 1-bromopropene and 3-bromopropene. [5]
The compound is a flammable liquid that causes skin irritation and serious eye irritation. It is soluble in chloroform and methanol. Insoluble in water. [6]
