1-Propanol Usage And Synthesis
description 1-propanol is the compound with the hydrogen atom in the propane molecules being replaced by hydroxyl group. Because the hydroxyl group can substitute the hydrogen atoms contained in the carbons in the two terminals of carbon chain or middle carbon, thus generating two isomers, n-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol.
The chemical property of the 1-propanol is similar to that of ethanol. It is the byproduct during the process of the methanol synthesis from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. At room temperature and normal pressure, it appears as colorless transparent liquid with fragrance odor. In industry, it is prepared through the reaction between ethylene, carbon monoxide and hydrogen under high pressure and cobalt catalysis; alternatively through the hydration of propylene under the action of sulfate or through the catalytic hydrogenation of acetone. It is commonly used as a solvent with irritating effect on the eyes and mucosa. Inhalation of propyl alcohol steam can lead to dizziness, headache and vomiting, etc.

Introduction 1Propanol is colorless transparent liquid, with ethanol-like smell, combustible. Soluble in acetone and benzene, miscible with a variety of common organic solvents (e.g., ethers, esters, acids, ketones, and other alcohols). It occurs in nature in crude fusel oils and as fermentation and decomposition products of various vegetables, used mainly as solvent. Azeotropics are formed with a variety of compounds, including aromatics, esters, amines, and ketones (See table below). When the product is oxidized, it can produce propionaldehyde and propionic acid, depending on the reaction conditions and the catalyst; it can form an ester with acid; it can form sodium alkoxide with active metal and be used as organic synthesis catalyst.Uses The propanols are used mainly as solvents for coatings; in antifreeze compositions and household and personal products; and as chemical intermediates for the production of esters, amines, and other organic derivatives. As a solvent, 1-propanol is used principally in printing inks, paint, cosmetics, pesticides, and insecticides.

1-Propanol is used commercially to produce glycol ethers. These are characterized by dual functionality, which imparts high solvency, chemical stability, and water compatibility.
Chemical Properties 1-Propanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a typical alcohol odor.
Chemical Properties Propyl alcohol has an alcoholic odor and a characteristic ripe, fruity flavor.
