Overview
Allylamine (CAS: 107-11-9, C3H5N) is a fundamental unsaturated amine used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis. It is primarily produced via the reaction of propylene with ammonia over specialized catalysts.
Application
- Pharmaceuticals: Synthesis of antifungal agents and various heterocyclic compounds.
- Agriculture: Precursor for specific herbicides and fungicide formulations.
- Chemicals: Manufacture of polymers, resins, and surface-active agents.
Precautions
Strict storage under inert atmosphere at low temperatures is required due to high flammability and polymerization risks. Personnel must utilize full PPE including respirators to prevent inhalation toxicity and severe skin irritation.
