3-Methylbut-3-en-1-ol, also known as isoprenol, is a hemiterpene alcohol. It is produced industrially as an intermediate to 3-methylbut-2-en-1-ol (prenol): global production in 2001 can be estimated as 6–13 thousand tons.[3]
3-Methylbut-3-en-1-ol is produced by the reaction between 2-methylpropene (isobutene) and formaldehyde.
The thermodynamically preferred isomer with the more substituted double bond cannot be directly formed in this reaction, but isomerization yields the desired product:
The reaction is catalyzed by any species which can form an allyl complex without excessive hydrogenation of the substrate, for example poisoned palladium catalysts.[4]
Notes
- ↑ Sigma-Aldrich Co. gives a value for the flash point of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol of 42 ºC (108 ºF). The difference in the two values does not alter the safety classification of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol as a category 3 flammable liquid under the GHS; but the lower value quoted here (from the New Zealand Environmental Risk Management Authority) would make it a class IC flammable liquid instead of a class II combustible liquid under the U.S. OSHA classification (29 C.F.R § 1910.106), and F3 rather than F2 under the NFPA 704 standard.
