General description

Reaction between 3-bromo-1-propanol, phenol and a series of phenols having substituents in 4-position has been studied in micellar media and in microemulsions based on cationic or a nonionic surfactant.

3-Bromo-1-propanol is an electrophile used as a substrate in nucleophilic substitution reactions and in the redox polymerization.

Application

3-Bromo-1-propanol was used in the synthesis of fluorescent halide-sensitive quinolinium dyes and molten salt-polymers. It was used in the synthesis of chiral, quaternary prolines via cyclization of quaternary amino acids.
Recently used as a grafting agent in the synthesis of recyclable reagents for Swern oxidation

An enantiodivergent asymmetric cyclization of N-Boc-N-omega-bromoalkyl-alpha-amino acid derivatives has been developed. With potassium amide bases in DMF, cyclization proceeds with retention of configuration, while inversion of configuration was observed with lithium amide bases in THF. Chirality of the parent amino
