Abstract: Let $G$ be an almost simple group with socle $A_n$, the alternating group of degree $n$. We prove that there is a unit of order $pq$ in the integral group ring of $G$ if and only if there is an element of that order in $G$ provided $p$ and $q$ are primes greater than $fracn3$. We combine this with some explicit computations to verify the Prime Graph Question for all almost simple groups with socle $A_n$ if $nleq17$.
