Allyl Alcohol

Description

What is Allyl Alcohol?

Allyl Alcohol (IUPAC name: Prop-2-en-1-ol) is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor, widely recognized for its versatility in industrial applications. With the chemical formula C₃H₅OH and structure CH₂=CHCH₂OH, it is the smallest member of the allylic alcohol family. This water-soluble compound is more reactive than typical alcohols due to its double bond and hydroxyl group, making it a valuable intermediate in chemical synthesis.

Primarily produced through the hydrolysis of allyl acetate (obtained from propylene), Allyl Alcohol serves as a key raw material for manufacturing glycerol, glycidol, specialty polymers, resins, and flame-retardant materials. Due to its high reactivity, it must be handled with care, following proper safety protocols.

Chemex Chemicals is the only authorized distributor for Allyl Alcohol in India, ensuring that industries receive genuine, high-quality, and certified product supplies.
