To convert 2-bromopropane to 1-bromopropane, you can perform an elimination reaction followed by a rearrangement. First, treat 2-bromopropane with a strong base, like potassium tert-butoxide, to induce elimination and form propene. Then, use hydrohalogenation (treating with HBr) to add bromine across the double bond, resulting in the formation of 1-bromopropane.
