N-propanol, also known as 1-propanol, is an organic compound with simple structure CH3CH2CH2OH, molecular formula C3H8O, and molecular weight of 60.10. At room temperature and pressure, n-propanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong musty taste similar to rubbing alcohol, and can be dissolved in water, ethanol and ether. Propionaldehyde is generally synthesized from ethylene by carbonyl group and then reduced. N-propanol can be used as solvent instead of ethanol with lower boiling point and can also be used for chromatographic analysis.
