It is interesting to note that, whereas zinc methyl and ethyl give tertiary alcohols, zinc propyl only gives secondary alcohols.
One of the hexane paraffins, found in petroleum, consisting of two propyl radicals.
CH2I, the atoms of iodine being removed from two molecules of propyl iodide, with the resulting fusion of the two systems of three carbon atoms into a chain of six carbon atoms.
In this case it is readily seen that isomerism introduces itself in the three carbon atom derivative: the propyl alcohols, expressed by the formulae CH3.
CH3, are known as propyl and isopropyl alcohol respectively.
CH3, may be obtained by action of sodium on propyl iodide, CH3.
The thermal effects increase as one passes from primary to tertiary alcohols, the values deduced from propyl and isopropyl alcohols and trimethyl carbinol being:--primary = 45.
But on the other hand, it is readily converted by hydrobromic acid into normalpropyl bromide, CH3.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "propyl" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
