Allyl alcohol is an organic compound with the structural formula CH2=CHCH2OH. Like many alcohols, it is a water soluble, colourless liquid, but it is more toxic than typical small alcohols. Allyl alcohol is used as a raw material for the production of glycerol, but is used as a precursor to many specialized compounds. Allyl alcohol is the smallest representative of the allylic alcohols. Allyl alcohol is found in many foods, some of which are jute, common pea, sago palm, and sapodilla.
