Chemical Properties
Colorless transparent liquid
Uses
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.
