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.
Propionaldehyde exhibits the reactions characteristic of alkyl aldehydes, e.g. hydrogenation, aldol condensations, oxidations, etc. It is the simplest aldehyde with a prochiral methylene such that α-functionalized derivatives (CH 3 CH(X)CHO) are chiral. If water is available, propionaldehyde exists in equilibrium with 1,1-propanediol, a ...
Isobutanol (IUPAC nomenclature: 2-methylpropan-1-ol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 OH (sometimes represented as i-BuOH).This colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell is mainly used as a solvent either directly or as its esters.
2-Phenyl-2-propanol can either be applied in organic syntheses, or be reactants or intermediates in agrochemical, medical, and dyestuff fields. [ 2 ] 2-Phenyl-2-propanol is the main metabolite of cumene , and therefore 2-phenyl-2-propanol can serve as a biomarker of cumene.
Chemical formula. C 5 H 12 O Molar mass: 88.148 g/mol Appearance colorless liquid Density: 0.815 g/ml Melting point: −63.68 °C (−82.62 °F; 209.47 K)
3-Methyl-3-pentanol (IUPAC name: 3-methylpentan-3-ol) is an organic chemical compound and a tertiary hexanol. It is used in the synthesis of the tranquilizer emylcamate , [ 2 ] and has similar sedative and anticonvulsant actions itself.
Phenylpropanoic acid or hydrocinnamic acid is a carboxylic acid with the formula C 9 H 10 O 2 belonging to the class of phenylpropanoids. It is a white, crystalline solid with a sweet, floral scent at room temperature. Phenylpropanoic acid has a wide variety of uses including cosmetics, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. [5]
It is also prepared commercially by ketonization of benzoic acid and propionic acid over calcium acetate and alumina at 450–550 °C: [1] C 6 H 5 CO 2 H + CH 3 CH 2 CO 2 H → C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 CH 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O. Ludwig Claisen discovered that α-methoxystyrene forms this compound when heated for an hour at 300 °C (65% yield). [2] [3]
