Propanol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are two isomers of propanol. If the isomer is unstated, it is more likely to refer to propan-1-ol.

  • Propan-1-ol (or n-propanol) — CH3CH2CH2OH
  • Propan-2-ol (or isopropyl alcohol, or isopropanol) — (CH3)2CHOH

Note that propanal (propionaldehyde), differing in spelling from propanol by a single letter, is a different compound.
