<h2 id="synthesis">Synthesis</h2>
<p>1,3-Dibromopropane can be prepared via the <a href="/facts/Free_radical_addition/pQ7f3my1">free radical addition</a> between <a href="/facts/Allyl_bromide/a7oHzGKs">allyl bromide</a> and <a href="/facts/Hydrogen_bromide/rUw1duLA">hydrogen bromide</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>

<h2 id="metabolism">Metabolism</h2>
<p>Metabolism of 1,3-dibromopropane was examined in 1981.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> The examination was done by orally administering 1,3-dibromopropane to rats and collecting results 24 hours after administration. Results were obtained from three sources: urine, faeces, and expired air. Upon analysis of the urinary results, researchers discovered the formation of metabolite, <i>N</i>-acetyl-<i>S</i>-(1-bromo-3-propyl)-cysteine and the decline in the GSH content of the liver of the rats. This led to the assumption that 1,3-dibromopropane could have reacted with GSH after administration and gave rise to 1-bromo-3-propyl-<i>S</i>-glutathione, which ultimately form the urinary metabolite.  Moreover, due to little radioactivity observed from feces and the confirmation from maintained blood levels of radioactivity proved the occurrence of biliary excretion of sulfur-containing metabolites and enterohepatic cycling.
