Allyl chloride is the organic compound. It is an alkylating agent, which makes it both useful and hazardous to handle. Allyl chloride is produced by the chlorination of propylene. As an alkylating agent, it is useful in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and pesticides, such as mustard oil. Its toxic and hazardous nature limits its use in consumer-facing industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Intermediate in Drug Synthesis: Allyl Chloride is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of drugs that require the introduction of an allyl group.
  • Chemical Reagent: Due to its reactive nature, Allyl Chloride can be used in various chemical reactions essential for pharmaceutical research and development.

2. Lubricants & Automobiles

  • Intermediate Chemicals:Used in the production of synthetic lubricants and additives, as well as in the synthesis of certain additives that improve lubricant properties, such as anti-wear agents.
  • Automotive Coatings: It plays a role in the formulation of coatings and paints applied to automotive parts, enhancing application smoothness and durability.

3. Metal Treatment

  • Precursor: Used in the production of polymers and resins that are applied as coatings and adhesives in metal treatments, providing corrosion resistance and adhesion to metal surfaces.Serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of alkylated compounds that may be used in metalworking fluids or coatings.
  • Electroplating: Allyl chloride can serve as a precursor or intermediate in the production of solvents used in metal electroplating processes, helping to improve the uniformity and quality of the plated metal.
  • Metal Cleaning: As an organic solvent, allyl chloride is effective at removing oil-based residues and other contaminants from metal surfaces prior to surface treatments or electroplating.
