Product Information

• Name: Methallyl alcohol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methallyl alcohol is a reactive hydroxide solution that is used as an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of polycarboxylic acids, glycol ethers, and other compounds. It reacts with hydrogen chloride to form methallyl chloride, which can be used to produce polymers. Methallyl alcohol can also be used as a reagent for the synthesis of various esters, amides, and other organic compounds. The enzyme inhibitors it produces inhibit reactions involving fatty acid and aliphatic hydrocarbon oxidation. Methallyl alcohol is produced by the reaction of methanol with allyl chloride. This reaction occurs in vivo under acidic conditions.
