Ethenol, also called vinyl alcohol, hydroxyethene or hydroxyethylene, is an alcohol with chemical formula C2H4O (H2C=CHOH) and CAS number 557-75-5. Normally it exists as the tautomer acetaldehyde. For this reason the thermoplastic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA or PVOH) which would be derived from this monomer, is made indirectly by polymerization of vinyl acetate and then hydrolysis of the polyvinyl acetate.

Enol Intermediates Unexpectedly Found in Flames (1013 words)
In the case of ethenol, not only are the concentrations far too high to be explained as the isomerization of acetaldehyde, but the data suggest that ethenol kinetics in flames are distinct.
Markedly differing distributions of ethenol and acetaldehyde with distance from the flame burner suggest either separate formation mechanisms or differential removal of ethenol as it diffuses toward the burner.
And the increasing fraction of ethenol relative to acetaldehyde with distance from the burner for two flames suggests that the chemical fates of the two are not at all the same.
