Allyl alcohol is hepatotoxic. In rats, in vivo, allyl alcohol is metabolized by liver alcohol dehydrogenase to acrolein, which can cause damage to the microtubules of rat hepatocyte mitochondria and depletion of glutathione. [8] It is significantly more toxic than related alcohols. [5] [11] Its threshold limit value (TLV) is 2 ppm. It is a ...
This is the list of extremely hazardous substances defined in Section 302 of the U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (42 U.S.C. § 11002).The list can be found as an appendix to 40 CFR 355. [1]
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary ways of occupational exposure to this chemical. Based on single exposure animal tests, it is considered to be slightly toxic if swallowed or inhaled, moderately toxic if absorbed through skin as well as being corrosive to eyes and skin. [1]

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 ...
Babler-Dauben oxidation of cyclic tertiary allylic alcohols. The reaction produces the desired enone product to high yield (typically >75%), is operationally simple and does not require air-free techniques or heating. [1] It suffers, however, from the very high toxicity and environmental hazard posed by the hexavalent chromium PCC oxidising ...

An example of a fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4–6 carbons to as many as 22–26, derived from natural fats and oils.
