CAS 75-26-3: 2-Bromopropane

Applications 2-Bromopropane is a compound that induces hemapoietic and reproductive effects on humans. It is known to cause male infertility and primary ovarian failure in humans as well. In the industry, 2-bromopropane is used as an alternative solvent to ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons (e.g. 1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane [T774305]). Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Park, J., et al.: J. Occup. Health, 39, 138 (1997); Takeuchi, Y., et al.: Occup. Heal. Ind. Med., 38, No pp given (1998)

2-Bromopropane serves as an alkylating agent in organic synthesis. It is also used as an intermediate to form alkylated amines and alkylated metallic compounds. Further, it acts as a solvent for industrial cleaning, degreasing, metal processing and finishing, electronics, aerospace and aviation, aerosols, textiles, adhesives and inks. In addition, it is used for introducing the isopropyl functional group in organic synthesis. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

BR1118 - 2-Bromopropane

2-Bromopropane is a liquid chemical that is used in wastewater treatment. It has been shown to cause physiological effects on the body, such as autoimmune diseases. The antibody response of 2-bromopropane has also been studied and found to be similar to the way antibodies are produced in testicular cancer patients. X-ray crystal structures have revealed the molecular interactions between the molecule and mitochondrial membrane potential, which may lead to information about how 2-bromopropane affects mitochondrial function. A control group was used when conducting an experiment with glycol ethers and analytical methods were used for sample preparation in order to determine if there are any receptors for 2-bromopropane. The mechanism of reaction for 2-bromopropane has not yet been determined, but it is hypothesized that it reacts with isopropyl alcohol.
