1-Propanol

Introduction：Propanol is a low molecular weight ethanol, which is currently being studied as an alternative fuel for direct methanol / oxygen fuel cells. Propanol is also used as coupling agent and dispersant in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

CAS：4712-36-1

Molecular formula：C3H8O

Molecular weight：60.1

Physicochemical properties: it is a colorless and transparent liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with an odor similar to the mixture of ethanol and acetone. Soluble in water, alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform and other organic solvents.

Application: 1-propanol is a good solvent, which can be used in coatings, printing inks, daily chemical products and other fields directly or through the synthesis of propyl acetate. N-propylamine, propyl acetate, propyl urea, 2-methyl-2-pentanol, n-bromopropane, perfluoropropionic acid, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate and Propyl Paraben can be synthesized from n-propanol. N-propanol is used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce probenecid, sodium valproate, erythromycin, Ammonium Propionate, dipropyl 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylate, etc. The most important derivative of n-propanol is n-propylamine, which is mainly used in the production of pesticides such as ampoule, bactericide, isopropanol, trifluralin, grasshopper, etc.
