1-Propanol

1-propanol appears as a clear colorless liquid with a sharp musty odor like rubbing alcohol. It has a role as a protic solvent and a metabolite, is used in making cosmetics, skin and hair preparations, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, lacquer formulations, dye solutions, antifreezes, rubbing alcohols, soaps, window cleaners, acetone and other chemicals and products.1-Propanol is the parent member of the class of propan-1-ols that is propane in which a hydrogen of one of the methyl groups is replaced by a hydroxy group. It is a short-chain primary fatty alcohol and a member of propan-1-ols.

1. Generally used as a solvent, and also as a raw material for the preparation of n-propylamine, etc.

2. Used as a chromatographic reagent, solvent, cleaning agent and extraction solvent.

3. GB 2760‑1996: Food flavoring agent and food processing aid.

4. Propanol is directly used as a solvent or for the synthesis of propyl acetate, applied in coating solvents, printing inks, cosmetics, etc.It is used to produce n-propylamine, an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and pesticides, as well as feed additives and synthetic flavors.In the pharmaceutical industry, propanol is used in the production of probenecid, sodium valproate, erythromycin, valpromide, hemostatic BCA, prosultiamine, dipropyl 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, etc.

Various esters synthesized from propanol are widely used in food additives, plasticizers, flavors, etc.Derivatives of n-propanol, especially di-n-propylamine, are widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals and pesticides, such as oryzalin, vernolate, isopropalin, pebulate, sulfallate, trifluralin, etc.

5. Used as a solvent; can replace lower-boiling ethanol in many cases.

6. Solvent and cleaning agent for vegetable oils, natural rubber, resins and cellulose esters; used in organic synthesis and as a standard for gas chromatography.
