Production

edit

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

1-Bromododecane can also be prepared by treating dodecanol with hydrobromic acid and sulfuric acid.[3]

CH3(CH2)11OH + HBr → CH3(CH2)11Br + H2O
