Synthesis and reactions

Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene. These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative.^[2]

1-Bromohexane undergoes reactions expected of simple alkyl bromides. It can form Grignard reagents.^[3] It reacts with potassium fluoride to give the corresponding fluorocarbons.^[4]
