Description

Allyl alcohol (CAS 107-18-6), also known as vinyl carbinol, is a reactive aliphatic alcohol used as a chemical intermediate and monomer building block across pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer manufacturing. Its unsaturated structure makes it a direct precursor in multi-step synthesis routes where controlled reactivity is a sourcing priority for industrial chemical processors and laboratory researchers alike.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of active ingredients and fine chemicals requiring an allylic hydroxyl group for specific molecular configurations. Agrochemical producers use it as a building block in herbicide and pesticide synthesis, particularly where allylation reactions are part of the process chain to ensure effective product performance.

In polymer chemistry, it functions as a reactive monomer and crosslinking agent in the production of allyl resins, specialty coatings, and modified polyols for high-performance industrial applications. It also acts as a carrier solvent in select formulations where its reactivity can be incorporated into the final product rather than removed, providing efficiency in complex manufacturing cycles.

Allyl alcohol is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available for larger industrial volumes. Technical grade is the standard commercial specification. Pharmaceutical-grade material meeting USP or BP standards is available for regulated synthesis applications. We ensure consistent quality and reliable logistics for all global supply requirements.
