Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Intermediate in Drug Synthesis: Allyl alcohol is used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds such as antibiotics, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory agents.
  • Functional Group Modifier: Its reactive –OH and –CH=CH2 groups allow it to modify active pharmaceutical ingredients for improved solubility or bioavailability.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Versatile Intermediate: Widely used as a building block in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including esters, ethers, and plasticizers.
  • Resin and Polymer Precursor: Used in the production of allyl esters (like allyl acetate), which are key intermediates for thermosetting resins and cross-linkable polymers.

3. Agrochemicals

  • Pesticide Intermediate: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of agrochemicals, especially herbicides and insecticides.
  • Solvent & Stabilizer: Used in small quantities as a solvent or stabilizing component in pesticide formulations.

4. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Reactive Diluent: Allyl alcohol is used in adhesive formulations to adjust viscosity and improve cure characteristics.
  • Adhesive Modifier: Improves adhesion to difficult surfaces such as plastics and metals due to its dual functionality (hydroxyl and alkene groups).
