General description

Reaction between 3-bromo-1-propanol, phenol and a series of phenols having substituents in 4-position has been studied in micellar media and in microemulsions based on cationic or a nonionic surfactant.

3-Bromo-1-propanol is an electrophile used as a substrate in nucleophilic substitution reactions and in the redox polymerization.

Application

3-Bromo-1-propanol was used in the synthesis of fluorescent halide-sensitive quinolinium dyes and molten salt-polymers. It was used in the synthesis of chiral, quaternary prolines via cyclization of quaternary amino acids.
Recently used as a grafting agent in the synthesis of recyclable reagents for Swern oxidation

Three fluorescent halide-sensitive quinolinium dyes have been produced by the reaction of the 6-methylquinoline heterocyclic nitrogen base with methyl bromide, methyl iodide, and 3-bromo-1-propanol. The quaternary salts, unlike the precursor molecule, are readily water soluble and the fluorescence intensity of
