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

1-propanol (n-Propanol) structure

N-propanol (also known as 1-propanol, n-propanol alcohol, propan-1-ol, propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol in which the OH entity is bonded to a primary carbon atom. N-propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) is one of two isomers of propanol (C3H8O); the other is 2-propanol ((CH3)2CHOH).

1-Propanol (n-Propanol) Physical Properties

• Appearance and Characteristics: Colorless transparent liquid
• Melting Point: -126.5°C
• Boiling Point: 97.4°C
• Flash Point: 15°C
• Density: 0.804 g/cm³
• Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, and diethyl ether; miscible with most organic solvents including alcohols and ethers.

1-Propanol (n-Propanol) Chemical Properties

• Functional Group: Hydroxyl (-OH)
• Incompatible Substances: Strong oxidizing agents, acid anhydrides, acids, halogens
• Reaction Types: Exhibits typical alcohol properties, capable of elimination reactions, oxidation reactions, substitution reactions, esterification reactions, etc. Under acidic conditions, n-propanol readily undergoes dehydration to form alkenes, followed by carbon-carbon bond oxidation cleavage to yield small-molecule compounds.

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.
