In this video, I will be making nbromopropane by brominating 1propanol. The nbromopropane 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:    • How to make Butyric Acid (Grignard Re...  

This process can be used as a general procedure to produce bromoalkane. For example, it can be used to make nbromobutane, which can then be used to make nButyl Lithium.
