What are the properties of n-propanol?
N-Propanol, also known as 1-propanol, is an organic compound with the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂OH, molecular formula C₃H₈O, and molecular weight 60.10. At standard temperature and pressure, n-propanol is a transparent, colorless liquid with a strong, musty odor similar to rubbing alcohol. It is soluble in water, ethanol, and diethyl ether. It is typically synthesized from ethylene via carbonylation to produce propionaldehyde, followed by reduction. N-propanol can serve as a solvent substitute for ethanol due to its higher boiling point and is also used in chromatography.
