Synthesis of a Bromoalkane (n-Bromopropane)

In this video, I will be making n-bromopropane by brominating 1-propanol. The n-bromopropane can then be used in a Grignard reaction to make butyric acid (smell of vomit). Here is the video of me using it in a Grignard reaction: http://youtu.be/_wmx65zQk58 This process can be used as a general procedure to produce bromoalkane. For example, it can be used to make n-bromobutane, which can then be used to make n-Butyl Lithium.
