Product Overview

Allyl Alcohol 99% For Synthesis (CAS No. 107-18-6) is an unsaturated primary alcohol in which a hydroxymethyl group is positioned adjacent to a carbon–carbon double bond. The presence of both alcohol and alkene functionalities allows reactions to occur at different sites within the molecule, giving allyl alcohol considerable value as a precursor for allyl esters, allyl ethers, and other oxygenated or unsaturated organic derivatives. It is systematically identified as 2-propen-1-ol and is widely established as an intermediate in organic chemical manufacture.

The Synthesis grade is intended for preparative organic chemistry, reaction-development studies, and laboratory production of allyl-containing intermediates. Its 99% purity supports synthetic procedures in which allyl alcohol is used as a starting material for functional-group transformation, derivative preparation, and investigation of reactions involving allylic alcohol systems.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of allyl esters through reactions with carboxylic acids or suitable acylating agents
• Synthesis of allyl ethers and other allyloxy-containing intermediates
• Production of allyl-functionalised compounds for organic synthesis
• Preparation of intermediates used in resin and plasticiser chemistry
• Oxidation and other transformations involving the allylic alcohol functionality
• Development of pharmaceuticals and specialised organic intermediates
• Reaction-mechanism and process-development studies involving allylic systems
• Academic, research, and industrial synthetic chemistry

Allyl alcohol is principally used as an intermediate in the manufacture of allyl esters, resins, plasticisers, pharmaceuticals, and other organic chemicals.
