Solution Steps

Step 1: Conversion of 1-Propanol to Propene

To convert 1-propanol to propene, we need to perform a dehydration reaction.

  • Reagent and Conditions: Concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and heat.
  • Reaction: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, \text{heat}} \text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
Step 2: Conversion of Propene to 1,2-Dibromopropane

To convert propene to 1,2-dibromopropane, we need to perform a bromination reaction.

  • Reagent and Conditions: Bromine (Br₂) in an inert solvent like CCl₄.
  • Reaction: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2 + \text{Br}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}(\text{Br})\text{CH}_2\text{Br} \]
Step 3: Conversion of Propene to 2-Bromopropane

To convert propene to 2-bromopropane, we need to perform a hydrohalogenation reaction.

  • Reagent and Conditions: Hydrogen bromide (HBr).
  • Reaction: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2 + \text{HBr} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}(\text{Br})\text{CH}_3 \]

Final Answer

  1. Conversion of 1-Propanol to Propene: Use concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and heat.
  2. Conversion of Propene to 1,2-Dibromopropane: Use bromine (Br₂) in an inert solvent like CCl₄.
  3. Conversion of Propene to 2-Bromopropane: Use hydrogen bromide (HBr).
