The bromopropane that I used was made in this video: /youtube/video/9eaWqvZZcig

In this video I will be demonstrating the Grignard reaction to produce butyric acid.

The Grignard reaction is a very interesting reaction which can be used to form new carbon-carbon bonds.

The final yield was 2.66g of butyric acid, or about 49%.
