Name the compounds A, B, and C in the following reaction scheme: A -> B, where B is 1-bromopropane.

Here are the names of the compounds in the reaction scheme:

• A: The reaction from A to B, where B is 1-bromopropane ($\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Br}$), suggests that A is propane, undergoing free radical bromination.

  • Propane ($\text{C}_3\text{H}_8$)

• B: The formula given is $\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_2\text{Br}$. This is a straight-chain bromoalkane with three carbons.

  • 1-bromopropane

• C: The reaction from B
