Propargyl alcohol is produced by the copper-catalysed addition of formaldehyde to acetylene as a by-product of the industrial synthesis of but-2-yne-1,4-diol. [6] It can also be prepared by dehydrochlorination of 3-chloro-2-propen-1-ol by NaOH. [7]
Allyl alcohol (IUPAC name: prop-2-en-1-ol) is an organic compound with the structural formula CH 2 =CHCH 2 OH. 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 ...
3-MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol) is an organic chemical compound with the formula HOCH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 Cl. It is a colorless liquid. The compound has attracted notoreity as the most common member of chemical food contaminants known as chloropropanols. [1] It is suspected to be carcinogenic in humans. [2]
Chlorobutanol (trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol) is an organic compound with the formula CCl 3 C(OH)(CH 3) 2. The compound is a chlorohydrin. The compound is a preservative, sedative, hypnotic and weak local anesthetic similar in nature to chloral hydrate. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties. [1]
Chloropropanols are chlorohydrins related to propanols containing chloride functional group. Eight isomers are possible. Two of these derivatives, 1,3-dichloropropanol (1,3-DCP) and 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), are carcinogenic contaminants in processed foods.
Propylene chlorohydrin usually refers to the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 Cl. A related compound, an isomer, is CH 3 CH(Cl)CH 2 OH. Both isomers are colorless liquids that are soluble in organic solvents. They are classified as chlorohydrins. Both are generated on a large scale as intermediates in the production of ...
1,3-Dichloropropan-2-ol (1,3-DCP) is an organic compound with the formula HOCH 2 CHClCH 2 Cl. It is a colorless liquid. It is an intermediate in the production of epichlorohydrin. [2] [3] 1,3-DCP is a believed to be a carcinogen and mutagen. [4]
1-Propanol (also propan-1-ol, propanol, n-propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH.It is a colourless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol. 1-Propanol is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly for resins and cellulose esters, and, sometimes, as a disinfecting agent.
