Infobox references

1-Fluoropropane is an organofluorine compound with the formula C3H7F or CH3CH2CH2F. At standard conditions it is a gas.

Properties

The melting point is −159 °C which is lower than fluoromethane, fluoroethane and 2-fluoropropane.[3]

The refractive index (at sodium D line) of the liquid at the boiling point is 1.3225 slightly below that of 2-fluoropropane.[3]

Preparation

1-Fluoropropane can be prepared by heating cyclopropane with hydrogen fluoride. If propene is used instead, the result is 2-fluoropropane.[3]
