Allyl iodide (3-iodopropene) is an organic halide used in synthesis of other organic compounds such as N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidones,[1][failed verification] sorbic acid esters,[1] 5,5-disubstituted barbituric acids,[2][failed verification] and organometallic catalysts.[3][failed verification] Allyl iodide can be synthesized from allyl alcohol and methyl iodide on triphenyl phosphite,[4] Finkelstein reaction on allyl halides,[5] or by the action of elemental phosphorus and iodine on glycerol.[6][7] Allyl iodide dissolved in hexane can be stored for up to three months in a dark freezer at −5 °C (23 °F) before decomposition into free iodine becomes apparent.[8]

When unsaturated amines are carbonylated in the presence of Co2(CO)8, N-alkyl pyrrolidinones are obtained. Carbonylation of allyl halides in the presence of primary amines and a rhodium compound affords the same products....If allyl derivatives are carbonylated in the presence of acetylene by means of Ni(CO)4 and water or methanol at 20 °C, the acetylene adds onto the allyl halide and 2-cis-5-dienoic acids or esters or sorbic acid esters are obtained.
