Propargyl alcohol, or 2-propyn-1-ol, is an organic compound with the formula C3H4O. It is the simplest stable alcohol containing an alkyne functional group.Merck Index, 11th Edition, 7819 Propargyl alcohol is a colorless viscous liquid that is miscible with water and most polar organic solvents.

Reactions and applications

Propargyl alcohol polymerizes with heating or treatment with base. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor, a metal complex solution, a solvent stabilizer and an electroplating brightener additive. It is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Secondary and tertiary substituted propargylic alcohols undergo catalyzed rearrangement reactions to form α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds via the Meyer–Schuster rearrangement and others. It can be oxidized to propynal{{OrgSynth|author= J. C. Sauer |year=1956|title=Propionaldehyde|volume=36|pages=66|collvol=4|collvolpages=813|prep=CV4P0813}} or propargylic acid.

As an indication of the electronegativity of an sp carbon, propargyl alcohol is significantly more acidic (pKa = 13.6) compared to its sp2-containing analog allyl alcohol (pKa = 15.5), which is in turn more acidic than the fully saturated (sp3 carbons only) n-propyl alcohol (pKa = 16.1).{{Cite book|last=Anslyn, Eric V., 1960-|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55600610|title=Modern physical organic chemistry|date=2006|publisher=University Science Books|others=Dougherty, Dennis A., 1952-|isbn=1-891389-31-9|location=Mill Valley, California|oclc=55600610}}

Preparation

Propargyl alcohol is produced by the copper-catalysed addition of formaldehyde to acetylene as a by-product of the industrial synthesis of but-2-yne-1,4-diol.{{Ullmann | first1 = Jürgen | last1 = Falbe | first2 = Helmut | last2 = Bahrmann | first3 = Wolfgang | last3 = Lipps | first4 = Dieter | last4 = Mayer | title = Alcohols, Aliphatic | doi = 10.1002/14356007.a01_279}}. It can also be prepared by dehydrochlorination of 3-chloro-2-propen-1-ol by NaOH.[http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja01230a038] J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1944, 66 (2), pp 285–287

Safety

Propargyl alcohol is a flammable liquid, toxic by inhalation, highly toxic by ingestion, toxic by skin absorption, and corrosive.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}
