| production method | 1. Obtained by bromination of allyl alcohol: hydrobromic acid was fed into a reaction tank, and sulfuric acid and allyl alcohol were added under stirring. The temperature was heated to reflux for 2H, and the distillate was distilled off when heated to 8 °c, and the 68-73 °c fraction was collected. After washing with water, dehydration with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtration, allyl bromide was obtained. 2. Bromination of propylene. |
