Preparation: Allyl alcohol can be obtained by many methods. The hydrolysis of allyl chloride is the traditional route:
CH2CHCH2Cl + NaOH → CH2CHCH2OH + NaCl
Uses: Allyl alcohol is mainly converted 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.
When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
This chemical that at low levels can cause damage to health. It may present an immediate or delayed danger to one or more components of the environment. It is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. In case of contact with eyes, you should rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Whenever you will contact it, please wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
