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. [5] Allyl alcohol has herbicidal activity and can be used as a weed eradicant [9]) and fungicide. [8]
In organic chemistry, an allyl group is a substituent with the structural formula −CH 2 −HC=CH 2. It consists of a methylene bridge ( −CH 2 − ) attached to a vinyl group ( −CH=CH 2 ). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The name is derived from the scientific name for garlic , Allium sativum .
The synthesis of allyl glycidyl ether by condensation of allyl alcohol and epichlorohydrin. AGE can also be synthesized by monoepoxidation of diallyl ether. [6] [7] The synthesis of allyl glycidyl ether by epoxidation of diallyl ether. Diepoxidation of the second alkene would produce diglycidyl ether. Allyl glycidyl ether is chiral.
Chavicol is formed in sweet basil (Ocimum Basilicum) by the phenylpropanoid pathway via p-coumaryl alcohol. The allylic alcohol in p -coumaryl alcohol is converted into a leaving group. This then leaves thus forming a cation, this cation can be regarded as a quinone methide which then is reduced by NADPH to form either anol or chavicol.
The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
The mechanism starts with an allylic sulfoxide 1 which undergoes a thermal 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement to give a sulfenate ester 2. This can be cleaved using a thiophile, such as phosphite ester , which leaves the allylic alcohol 3 as the product.
An allylic rearrangement or allylic shift is an organic chemical reaction in which reaction at a center vicinal to a double bond causes the double bond to shift to an adjacent pair of atoms: It is encountered in both nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution , although it is usually suppressed relative to non-allylic substitution.
Allylic strain in an olefin. Allylic strain (also known as A 1,3 strain, 1,3-allylic strain, or A-strain) in organic chemistry is a type of strain energy resulting from the interaction between a substituent on one end of an olefin (a synonym for an alkene) with an allylic substituent on the other end.
