Dopran Pharma N Propyl Bromide, CAS No. : 106-94-5

1-Bromopropane is a simple bromoalkane frequently used as an industrial solvent and degreasing agent. It is prepared commercially via the free-radical anti-Markovnikov hydrobromination of propylene.
Since 2000, 1-bromopropane has increasingly replaced toxic, ozone-depleting chlorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons as dry-cleaning solvents. But using this brominated hydrocarbon presents many hazards (see hazard information table).
The US Environmental Protection Agency recently began to evaluate the health hazards of 1-bromopropane to workers. In its draft assessment, the agency reported that the solvent could pose “unreasonable risks to workers, occupational nonusers, consumers, and bystanders under certain conditions of use.” EPA is accepting comments on the draft until October 11.
