1-Fluoropropane is an organofluorine compound with the formula or . At standard conditions it is a gas.
Properties The melting point is −159 °C which is lower than fluoromethane, fluoroethane and 2-fluoropropane.
The refractive index (at sodium D line) of the liquid at the boiling point is 1.3225 slightly below that of 2-fluoropropane.
Preparation 1-Fluoropropane can be prepared by heating cyclopropane with hydrogen fluoride. If propene is used instead, the result is 2-fluoropropane.
