product description
Allyl alcohol (CH₂=CHCH₂OH) is a colorless, pungent, toxic liquid used as a chemical intermediate for resins, pharmaceuticals, and plastics, and formerly as a herbicide, known for its irritant properties and significant environmental hazard, especially to aquatic life. It’s the simplest allylic alcohol, soluble in water, and highly reactive, requiring careful handling due to its severe toxicity via inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact, causing damage to liver and kidneys.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid.
- Odor: Pungent, mustard-like.
- Formula: C₃H₆O.
- Solubility: Miscible with water and organic solvents.
- Toxicity: Highly toxic to humans and aquatic organisms.
Uses
- Chemical Intermediate: Key for producing epichlorohydrin, glycerol, acrolein, flame-resistant materials, and plasticizers.
- Pharmaceuticals: Used in synthesizing various drugs.
- Agriculture: Historically used as a herbicide and fungicide, though its use is restricted.
- Flavoring: Found naturally in garlic and used as a flavoring agent.
Safety & Hazards
- Irritant: Causes severe irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
- Systemic Effects: Inhalation or ingestion can lead to liver and kidney damage.
- Environmental Risk: Very toxic to fish, algae, and other aquatic life.
Handling Precautions
- Requires strict personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Emergency measures include flushing eyes, washing skin, and providing respiratory support.
Product Summary
Allyl alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid used as a raw material for epichlorohydrin, organic synthesis, resin monomers, resin additives, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and perfumes.
