3kloropropüleen

3-Chloropropene, also known as allyl chloride, is an organochlorine compound with the formula CH2=CHCH2Cl. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor. Allyl chloride is a volatile and flammable substance. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals.

One of the main applications of allyl chloride is in the synthesis of epichlorohydrin, which is a key component in the manufacture of epoxy resins. These resins find widespread use in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials. Allyl chloride is also employed in the production of synthetic glycerol, allyl alcohol, and various allyl compounds. These derivatives have applications in industries such as agriculture (herbicides, insecticides), pharmaceuticals, and polymers.

The production of allyl chloride typically involves the high-temperature chlorination of propylene. Due to its reactivity, it requires careful handling and storage. Allyl chloride is considered a hazardous substance and can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
