Chemical compound

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. It is more toxic than typical small alcohols. Allyl alcohol is used as a precursor to many specialized compounds such as flame-resistant materials, drying oils, and plasticizers. Allyl alcohol is the smallest representative of the allylic alcohols.

Production

Allyl alcohol is produced commercially by the Olin and Shell corporations through the hydrolysis of allyl chloride:

CH2=CHCH2Cl + NaOH → CH2=CHCH2OH + NaCl

Allyl alcohol can also be made by the rearrangement of propylene oxide, a reaction that is catalyzed by potassium alum at high temperature. The advantage of this method relative to the allyl chloride route is that it does not generate salt. Also avoiding chloride-containing intermediates is the "acetoxylation" of propylene to allyl acetate:

CH2=CHCH3 + 1/2 O2 + CH3CO2H → CH2=CHCH2O2CCH3 + H2O

Hydrolysis of this acetate gives allyl alcohol. In alternative fashion, propylene can be oxidized to acrolein, which upon hydrogenation gives the alcohol.

In principle, allyl alcohol can be obtained by dehydrogenation of propanol.

Laboratory methods

In the laboratory, glycerol reacts with oxalic or formic acids to give (respectively) dioxalin or glyceric formate, either of which decarboxylate and dehydrate to allylol.

Allyl alcohols in general are prepared by allylic oxidation of allyl compounds, using selenium dioxide or organic peroxides. Other methods include carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions such as the Prins reaction, the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, or a variant of the Ramberg-Bäcklund reaction. Hydrogenation of enones is another route. Some of these methods are achieved by the Luche reduction, Wharton reaction, and the Mislow-Evans rearrangement.

Allyl alcohol was first prepared in 1856 by Auguste Cahours and August Hofmann by hydrolysis of allyl iodide. Today a Allyl alcohol can be formed after trituration of garlic (Allium sativum) cloves (producing from garlic in two ways: firstly by a self-condensation reaction of allicin and its decomposition products such as diallyl trisulphide and diallyl disulphide and secondly by the reaction between alliin, the precursor of allicin, and water).

Applications

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.

Allyl alcohol has herbicidal activity and can be used as a weed eradicant) and fungicide.

Allyl alcohol is the precursor in the commercial synthesis of allyl bromide:

CH2=CHCH2OH + HBr → CH2=CHCH2Br + H2O

Safety

Allyl alcohol is hepatotoxic. In rats, in vivo, allyl alcohol is metabolized by liver alcohol dehydrogenase to acrolein, which can causes damage to the microtubules of rat hepatocyte mitochondria and depletion of glutathione.It is significantly more toxic than related alcohols. Its threshold limit value (TLV) is 2 ppm. It is a lachrymator.
