1-Bromobutane is synthesized from industrial hydrobromic acid and n-butyl alcohol using concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. The optimal condition is as follows: the molar ratio of n-butyl alcohol, hydrobromic acid and concentrated sulfuric acid is 1:

1.13: 1.37, refluxed for 5h, and the isolated yield of 1-bromobutane is up to 93.8%. Raw product is analyzed by GC and no by-product is detected. Pure product is characterized by IR and index of refraction.
