General description

2-Chloropropane decomposes by first-order reaction to give hydrogen chloride and propylene.

Application

2-Chloropropane can be used as a reactant:
  • In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of difluorobenzene and toluene using solid acid and methylalumoxane catalysts, respectively.
  • To prepare 4-amino-3-iodo-1-(isopropyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, a key intermediate for the synthesis of PfPK7 kinase inhibitors.
  • To prepare benzylisopropylphenylphosphine.
