General description

1,3-Dibromo-2-propanol is a dihalogenated alcohol. It is reported as bifunctional crosslinking reagent.

Application

1,3-Dibromo-2-propanol may be used in the following studies:
  • To prepare the thioether ligand, used in the synthesis of palladium-phosphorus/sulfur nanoparticles.
  • Preparation of 2-(alkoxy)propenyl bromide.
  • Synthesis of 1,3-propanediamine derivatives connected to carbohydrates (sugar-pendant diamines).
  • Chemical crosslinking of nine single substitution cysteine mutants of staphylococcal nuclease.
  • Preparation of 1,3-dinitrooxy-2-propanol, via reaction with AgNO3 in MeCN at 80°C.

2-(Alkoxy)propenyl bromides are readily prepared from 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol in a two-step sequence involving hydroxyl protection and sodium hydride-induced dehydrobromination. Indium-mediated allylation of aldehydes, ketones, and sulfonimines with 2-(alkoxy)propenyl bromides furnishes the corresponding homoallylic alcohols and sulfonamines in good yields. The products
