Allyl isocyanate is an organic compound that contains an allyl group and an isocyanate group, which makes it useful in various chemical syntheses. It is utilized as an intermediate in organic synthesis, like in the production of specialty polymers and adhesives. Its isocyanate group reacts with compounds that contain active hydrogens, like amines and alcohols, which leads to the formation of strong, durable polymer and high-performance adhesives.

It is utilized in the manufacturing of strong resin skins that are molded into one-piece sails that have strength and longevity. It is used as a precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals and is employed to synthesize complex molecules that are utilized for drugs and crop protection agents. It has a hazardous nature and is toxic and flammable, which requires it to be handled in controlled industrial and research environments.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Allyl Isocyanate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Allyl Isocyanate manufacturing.

• Allyl IsocyanateBy Carbamoylation: The feedstock for this process includes allyl alcohol.

The manufacturing process of allyl isocyanate involves a carbamoylation reaction. In this process, carbamoylation of allyl alcohol takes place, which produces allyl carbamate as an intermediate. This intermediate then goes through a dehydration reaction that results in the formation of an allyl cyanate. After this, sigmatropic rearrangement takes place that resulting in the formation of allyl isocyanate as the final product.
 

Properties of Allyl Isocyanate

Allyl isocyanate has a molecular formula of C4H5NO and a molecular weight of 83.09 g/mol. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor and a density of about 0.94 g/mL. It has a boiling point in the range of 87–89 degree Celsius and a flash point of 43.3 degree Celsius, which makes it flammable. It is sensitive to moisture and goes through rapid hydrolysis in water to produce amines and carbon dioxide.

It is highly reactive because of the presence of the isocyanate group and reacts with nucleophiles such as amines and alcohols. It is stored in tightly sealed containers at low temperatures (2–8 degree Celsius) and kept away from moisture and ignition sources. It is toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, and emits hazardous fumes when heated to decomposition.
