Allyl glycidyl ether is a glycidyl ether.
Preparation
Allyl alcohol and epichlorohydrin are the precursors to allyl glycidyl ether. They react in a condensation reaction and the product is subsequently treated with base to produce allyl glycidyl ether.[5]

Uses
Allyl glycidyl ether is used in adhesives and sealants.[2] It is also used in the production of polyvinylcaprolactam.[6]
