Allylamine, also referred to as 3- Aminopropen, 3 - aminopropylene or 3 -amino -1-propene, is an amino- derivative of propene.

Properties

Allylamine is a flammable, water-miscible liquid. The aqueous solution is alkaline. The pH of a solution of 5.7 g in one liter of water is 11.2. The vapors of highly-volatile allyl amine can form explosive mixtures with air. Allylamine, as well as some derivatives of these compounds are inhibitors of the bovine enzyme BPAO (bovine plasma amine oxidase )

Toxicity

Vapors of allyl amine, but also liquid allylamine, have a strong irritating effect on the eyes and skin. Allylamine is a cardiovascular toxin. To solve the administration of allylamine in rats from a cystic medial necrosis Erdheim - Gsell of the aorta and arteriosclerosis.

Use

Allylamine is the base monomer for the synthesis of polyallylamine ( PAAm or PAH = polyallylamine hydrochloride). The polymerization may be either free-radical and in the plasma ( plasma -assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) ) take place. Allylamine is a building block for the synthesis of terbinafine. and other fungicides from the class of allylamines.
