METHOD FOR PREPARING ALLYL ALCOHOL

摘要

Disclosed is a method for preparing allyl alcohol, wherein glycerol and formic acid are reacted under specific synthesis conditions, thus remarkably increasing the the concentration of allyl alcohol in the liquid reaction products and minimizing the production of allyl formate byproduct and the production of unreacted formic acid.

主权项

1. A method for preparing allyl alcohol, comprising:
a) adding glycerol with formic acid in an amount of 0.4˜1.2 equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of glycerol and then increasing a reaction temperature to 220˜240° C. from room temperature at a heating rate of at least 2.0° C./min in an inert gas atmosphere so that glycerol and formic acid are reacted; and b) condensing gas reaction products obtained in a), thus separating liquid reaction products including allyl alcohol therefrom.
