Allyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Allyl acetate is a flammable, colorless liquid with an acrid odor.

Uses

Ally acetate is used in nonalcoholic beverages at 1 ppm, ice cream and ices at 2 ppm, candy at 5 ppm, baked goods at 5 ppm, and margarine at 2 ppm.

Uses

Ally acetate is used in industrial intermediate. Used in synthesis of colophony and bond.

Production Methods

Allyl acetate is produced by the following methods: decarboxylation of allylmalonic acid with heat, boiling ethyl 4- chloro-N-valerate in quinoline, and acetoxylation of propylene.
Allyl acetate is produced primarily for manufacturing allyl alcohol. It is also used as a synthetic flavoring for cheese, butter, and fruit.

General Description

A liquid. Insoluble in water and slightly less dense than water. Hence floats on water. Flash point below 75°F. Poisonous by ingestion and moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Irritating to skin and eyes.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Allyl acetate is an ester. Reacts with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Generates heat with strong oxidizing acids. The reaction may be sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Also generates heat with basic solutions. Generates flammable hydrogen with alkali metals and hydrides. Emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes when heated to decomposition.

Hazard

Skin and eye irritant; poisonous.

Health Hazard

TOXIC; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with some of these materials will irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. A skin and eye irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Dangerous fire hazard. See also ALLYL COMPOUNDS

Potential Exposure

Allyl Acetate is used to control insects in homes and animal shelters, and to treat lice in humans. May be used to enhance taste of dairy products and fruit. Generally speaking, most allyl compounds may be metabolized to allyl alcohol (see A:0540) which is metabolized to acrolein (see A:0380).

Solubility in organics

Insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol, essential oils, perfume and flavor chemicals.

Shipping

UN2333 Allyl acetate, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid, 6.1-Poisonous materials

Purification Methods

The ester is freed from peroxides by standing with crystalline ferrous ammonium sulfate, then washed with 5% NaHCO3, followed by saturated CaCl2 solution. Dry it with Na2SO4 and fractionally distil it in an all-glass apparatus. FLAMMABLE LIQUID. [Beilstein 2 H 136, 2 IV 180.]

Incompatibilities

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Incompatible with strong acids (liberates heat), nitrates, strong alkalis (liberates heat). Contact with alkali metals and strong reducing agents such as hydrides evolves highly flammable hydrogen gas. Attacks some plastics, coatings, and rubber. Flow or agitation of substance may generate electrostatic charges due to low conductivity; ground all equipment containing this material

Waste Disposal

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
