All three allylamines, mono-, di-, and triallylamine, are produced by the treating allyl chloride with ammonia followed by distillation.[2] Pure samples can be prepared by hydrolysis of allyl isothiocyanate.[3] It behaves as a typical amine.[4]
Polymerization can be used to prepare the homopolymer (polyallylamine) or copolymers. The polymers are promising membranes for use in reverse osmosis.[2]
Allyl amine, like other allyl derivatives is a lacrymator and skin irritant. Its oral LD50 is 106 mg/kg for rats.
