No. Isopropanol and n-propanol are two distinct chemical substances.
Chemical Structure
Isopropanol (cas: 67-63-0) and n-propanol (CAS 71-23-8) have molecular formulas of C₃H₈O and C₃H₈OH respectively, with differing molecular structures. The molecular structure of n-propanol is CH₃CH₂CH₂OH, a three-carbon alcohol compound. The molecular structure of isopropanol is CH₃CHOHCH₃, a two-carbon alcohol compound.
Properties
Due to their differing chemical structures, isopropanol and n-propanol exhibit distinct properties. N-propanol is a colorless liquid with a density lower than water, possessing a pungent odor and high volatility. Isopropanol is also a colorless liquid but has a higher density than water and carries an alcohol-like scent. At room temperature, isopropanol has a lower boiling point than n-propanol.
Applications
N-Propanol (CAS 71-23-8) serves as a vital organic synthesis feedstock, primarily used in manufacturing esters, phosphates, and other compounds. It also finds applications in cosmetics, plastics, adhesives, and related fields. Isopropanol (cas: 67-63-0) is mainly employed in synthesizing metal complex catalysts, fragrances, and resins, while also functioning as a solvent.
