What is 2-Allyloxyethanol?

Chemical properties

Colorless transparent liquid

The Uses of 2-Allyloxyethanol

2-allyloxyethanol could synthesize a new ester (Las9) with lasalocid. Las9 could form complexes with LiC, NaC, KC, RbC, and CsC cations. 2-allyloxyethanol could be used as an end-capping reagent to synthesize 2-allyloxyethanol-terminated polyurethane which is a modifier of polyurethane-modified polydimethylsiloxane (PUMS) coating[1-2].

Preparation

2-allyloxyethanol is produced from Allyl alcohol and Ethylene under pressure and in the presence of a catalyst.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Solubility in organics

Soluble in alcohol and oils.
