  • Applications

    Prop-2-en-1-yl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate (allyl pivalate), CAS 15784-26-6, is commonly used as a solvent and fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetic formulations. In fragrance applications it acts as a solvent for aroma compounds and may serve as an odorant or fixative component. It also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis for preparing other pivalate esters and related derivatives. The presence of the allyl group enables potential use as a reactive monomer or crosslinking additive in specialty coatings, inks, and UV-curable systems. It can serve as a solvent component in cleaning and household formulations and as a precursor in process chemistries within industrial manufacturing.
