Making Isopropyl Bromide

Welcome to Episode 17 of Molecular Playground! In this one, I make isopropyl bromide! Isopropyl bromide is an incredibly versatile alkyl halide. It can make ethers, organolithium reagents, propenes, and add onto arenes with Lewis acids. WARNING: Hydrogen Bromide fumes are present and extremely caustic. Do not try at home!
