What is the boiling point of 1-propanol (n-Propanol)?

1-propanol (n-propanol) is an organic compound with the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂OH, molecular formula C₃H₈O, and molecular weight 60.10. n-Propanol has a melting point of -126.5 °C, a boiling point of 97.4 °C, a flash point of 15 °C, and a density of 0.804 g/cm³. It is a transparent, colorless liquid with a strong, musty odor similar to rubbing alcohol. It is soluble in water, ethanol, and diethyl ether.

Industrial Manufacturing Process of 1-Propanol

Commercially, 1-Propanol is produced mainly through the hydrogenation of propionaldehyde under controlled catalytic conditions.
Propionaldehyde itself is generated via the oxo synthesis (hydroformylation) process, where ethylene reacts with synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) in the presence of metal catalysts such as cobalt- or rhodium-based systems.

This mature production route allows for:

• Stable large-scale output
• Consistent product quality
• Efficient cost control

As an experienced chemical manufacturer in China, strict process monitoring and quality inspection are applied at every stage to ensure reliable purity and batch-to-batch consistency.

1-Propanol (n-Propanol) Applications

• Organic Synthesis: 1-Propanol is used to produce pharmaceutical intermediates and pesticide intermediates, making it widely employed in pharmaceutical and pesticide manufacturing.
• Industrial Applications: n-Propanol is employed in industries such as nitro spray paints, cosmetics, dental cleansers, insecticides, fungicides, inks, and plastics.
• Solvent: It serves as a solvent, chromatographic reagent, and chromatographic analyte.
• Fuel: n-Propanol can also be blended with alkanes and alkenes as a fuel mixture to increase combustion temperatures.
• Ethanol Substitute: 1-Propanol (n-Propanol) can replace ethanol with lower boiling points, such as serving as a solvent for certain synthetic resins, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, vegetable oils, natural rubber, and resins.
