Product Description

Allyl alcohol (IUPAC name: prop-2-en-1-ol) is an organic compound with the structural formula CH₂=CHCH₂OH. Like many alcohols, it is a water-soluble, colourless liquid, but it is more toxic than typical small alcohols. Allyl alcohol is used as a raw material for the production of glycerol, but is also used as a precursor to many specialized compounds such as flame-resistant materials, drying oils, and plasticizers.^[4] Allyl alcohol can be obtained by many methods. Allyl alcohol is the smallest representative of the allylic alcohols. Allyl alcohol is converted mainly to glycidol, which is a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of glycerol, glycidyl ethers, esters, and amines. Also, a variety of polymerizable esters are prepared from allyl alcohol, e.g. diallyl phthalate.
