Encyclopedia > Propanol

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.

Propanol was given as the chemical to be manufactured in the contentious chemical plant in the 1981 British comedy Yes Minister episode 'The Greasy Pole'. In that episode it was (erroneously) said to be manufactured with 'dioxin' and 'meta-dioxin'. Yes Minister is a satirical British sitcom written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn that was first transmitted by BBC television and radio between 1980 and 1984. ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the metabolic rate constants (Km and Vmax) for the metabolism of propyl acetate to its major metabolites, propanol (1-propanol, CAS 71-23-8) and propionic acid (CAS 79-09-4) respectively, in blood and S-9 fractions prepared from male Sprague-Dawley rats.
The Vmax for the metabolism of propanol to propionic acid is substantially lower than the Vmax for the previous metabolic step.
Propanol is much more slowly metabolized to propionic acid than the metabolism of propyl acetate to propanol.
