Synthesis of 2- Amino-2`Bromo- Propane-1,3-Diol

Abstract

Reduction of Bronopol into a corresponding amino compound has not been isolated so far. Several attempts were made to reduce bronopol into 2-amino-2`bromo-propane-1,3 diol. 2-amino-2`bromo-1,3-propane have been synthesized from Bronopol. This compound have been prepared by treatment of bronopol with Sn and HCl then heated. Synthesized compound have been isolated and purified.  White solid was obtained. The compound was chartered by NMR C13NMR and IR spectroscopy. The newly synthesized compound have been evaluated for microbiological activity also.
