1-Propanol (also propan-1-ol, propanol, n-propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH.It is a colourless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol. 1-Propanol is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly for resins and cellulose esters, and, sometimes, as a disinfecting agent.
Propanal (propionaldehyde) differs in spelling from propanol by a single letter and is a different compound. Propranolol is a drug used for reducing blood pressure and hand tremors. Index of chemical compounds with the same name
When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

[2]: 4 [4] It is predominantly used as a precursor to trimethylolethane (CH 3 C(CH 2 OH) 3) through a condensation reaction with formaldehyde. This triol is an important intermediate in the production of alkyd resins. It is used in the synthesis of several common aroma compounds (cyclamen aldehyde, helional, lilial). [2]
The article currently carries no information regarding the effects of propan-1-ol when ingested. Propan-2-ol (isopropanol) is metabolised to acetone, which is the primary reason for its toxicity in mammals. Since propan-1-ol is produced in many fermentation processes, I'm sure the effects of it on both human and animal physiology are of interest.
Propargyl alcohol, or 2-propyn-1-ol, is an organic compound with the formula C 3 H 4 O. It is the simplest stable alcohol containing an alkyne functional group. [ 3 ] Propargyl alcohol is a colorless viscous liquid that is miscible with water and most polar organic solvents.
