1halopropanes
1halopropane refers to a group of organic chemical compounds with the general formula CH3CH2CH2X, where X represents a halogen atom. The halogens commonly found in this class of compounds are fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). Each specific compound is named according to the halogen present, for example, 1-fluoropropane, 1-chloropropane, 1-bromopropane, and 1-iodopropane.
These compounds are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. The presence
1halopropanes find applications as intermediates in organic synthesis. For instance, they can be used in nucleophilic
