Product Overview

Allyl Chloride 98% For Synthesis (CAS No. 107-05-1) is an unsaturated organochlorine compound containing a chloromethyl group adjacent to a carbon–carbon double bond. This allylic arrangement gives the molecule useful substitution reactivity while preserving a terminal alkene that can undergo further chemical modification. Allyl chloride therefore serves as a compact three-carbon building block for introducing allyl functionality into a variety of organic structures. It is systematically identified as 3-chloro-1-propene and is classified among halogenated alkenyl building blocks and allylation reagents.

The Synthesis grade is intended for preparative organic chemistry, reaction-development work, and intermediate production in which allyl chloride is employed as an allylating reagent or reactive starting material. Its 98% purity supports routine laboratory synthesis involving nucleophilic substitution, functional-group introduction, and the preparation of unsaturated intermediates for subsequent transformations.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of allyl ethers from suitable alcohols and phenols
• Synthesis of allyl esters and other oxygen-containing derivatives
• Introduction of allyl groups into nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds
• Carbon–carbon bond formation using suitable carbon nucleophiles
• Preparation of allyl-functionalised intermediates retaining terminal alkene reactivity
• Synthesis of compounds used in resin, polymer, and speciality-chemical research
• Development and optimisation of nucleophilic substitution reactions
• Academic, research, and industrial work in preparative organic chemistry

Allyl chloride is commercially categorised as an allylation reagent, synthetic reagent, and non-heterocyclic halogenated alkenyl building block.

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly closed, chemically compatible container under the temperature conditions specified on the approved product label or Safety Data Sheet. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated and access-controlled area, away from heat, sparks, open flames, static discharge, oxidising substances, and other incompatible materials. Reseal the container immediately after dispensing to minimise evaporation and contamination. Comparable reagent documentation identifies allyl chloride as heat-sensitive and specifies low-temperature storage.
