Allylamine is an organic compound with the formula C₃H₅NH₂. This colourless liquid is the simplest stable unsaturated amine. It can be prepared by hydrolysis of allyl isothiocyanate.^[1] It behaves as a typical amine.^[2]

Reactions

Polymerization can be used to prepare the homopolymer (poly(allylamine)) or copolymers.

Safety

Allyl amine is highly toxic and is a lacrymator.
