The present invention provides new compounds and compositions thereof that release carbon monoxide for the treatment of medical disorders that are responsive to carbon monoxide, for example, inflammatory, pain, and dermatological disorders.

A compound is provided of Formula (I) ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.3 to C.sub.20 hydrocarbon group derived from an alcohol of formula R.sup.1OH, from a formate of formula R.sup.1OCHO, or a cinnamyl aldehyde of Formula (II) ##STR00002##
wherein a compound of Formula I is capable of releasing a compound, when oxidized, selected from the group consisting of a fragrant alcohol of formula R.sup.1OH, a fragrant formate ester of formula R.sup.1OCHO and aryl aldehyde of Formula (III) ##STR00003##
wherein R.sup.2 is, independently, hydrogen atom, hydroxyl group, optionally substituted C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl group, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy group, or O(CO)CH(CH3).sub.2 wherein any two of R.sup.2 may form an optionally substituted 5 or 6 membered ring. The compounds are useful for example as a precursor for the prolonged delivery or release of fragrant compounds such as fragrant alcohols, fragrant aldehydes or fragrant formates.

The present disclosure is directed towards methods of converting glycerol to an allyl compound, involving deoxydehydrating glycerol with formic acid and heat to form allyl alcohol; and esterifying the allyl alcohol with formic acid and/or phthalic anhydride and heat to form allyl formate and diallyl phthalate. In some instances, the heat is generated by a microwave. In further instances, the methods involve polymerizing the allyl alcohol, allyl formate and/or diallyl phthalate to form poly(allyl alcohol) or poly(allyl formate) or poly (diallyl phthalate). In some instances, the allyl polymers were used for the consolidation of oil sands tailings.

A continuous-flow process for the production of allyl compounds by deoxydehydration of glycerol includes: (a) Forming a reactive solution by mixing glycerol (1) with: a carboxylic acid (2), and/or a triethyl orthoester, preferably triethyl orthoformate (TEOF); (b) Feeding the reactive solution to an inlet of a channel of a thermolysis microreactor module wherein the channel has an inner hydraulic diameter, D=4 A/P, wherein A is the area and P the perimeter of a cross-section of the channel, of not more than 1000 m, (c) Exposing the reactive solution to thermolysis by driving a flow of the reactive solution along the channel from the inlet to an outlet, for a thermolysis time, t, at a pressure, P, and at a thermolysis temperature, T, larger than 200 C., to form thermolysis products including at least one allyl compound; and

Recovering the thermolysis products at the outlet and separating the at least one allyl compound from the other thermolysis products
