vinyylialkoolin
Vinyylialkooli, also known as vinyl alcohol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH2=CHOH. It is a colorless liquid with a faint, sweet odor. Vinyylialkooli is highly reactive and is often used as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is produced by the hydration of acetylene, a process that involves the addition of water to the triple bond of acetylene. This reaction is typically carried out in the presence of a catalyst, such as mercury(II) acetate, to facilitate the addition of water.
Vinyylialkooli is not commonly found in its pure form due to its reactivity and tendency to polymerize.
The reactivity of vinyylialkooli makes it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. For example,
Despite its usefulness, vinyylialkooli is a hazardous substance. It is highly flammable and can cause skin
