1-Propanol (CAS 71-23-8), also known as n-Propanol or propan-1-ol, is a straight-chain aliphatic alcohol widely used in industrial solvents, chemical synthesis, coatings, inks, and cleaning applications. It is soluble in water and organic solvents.
Solubility in Water
1-Propanol is completely miscible with water in all proportions.
This high water solubility is due to the presence of a hydroxyl (–OH) group, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
Industrial Uses:
Commonly used in cleaning agents, aqueous formulations, and reaction media
Solubility in Organic Solvents
1-Propanol shows excellent solubility in a wide range of organic solvents, including:
- Alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol)
- Ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone)
- Esters (ethyl acetate, propyl acetate)
Ethers
- Aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, xylene)
- Aliphatic hydrocarbons (limited but generally compatible in blends)
Industrial Uses:
Widely used in paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives
