Compound A: Does Bromide React with Propanol or Propanal?

[mathsgeek]

I was wondering does bromide react with propanol or propanal at all?

Also, what answers do people get for this question, i say it either propanol or propanal as i don't know if either reacts with bromide and both would be a suitable answer.
The question is:
Compound A has a molar mass between 55 and 65 and reacts with Potassium pergamanate to produce product B. However, compound A does not react with bromide. Compound B then reacts with a carbonate to create a colourless gas (most likely carbon dioxide). What is Compound A?

Yeh but you were asking me if it reacted with bromide, which was the question i was asking at the beginning. I really need help asap if possible. Thanks

On the other thread you said it should be 'bromine'. The reactivity of bromine and bromide are worlds apart... as would be the answers.
