propanol
Isopropyl's structural sibling
Propanol is an alcohol with three carbon atoms, used as a solvent and in chemical manufacturing.
Two forms exist: 1-propanol (n-propanol) and 2-propanol, better known as isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol.
The latter is the familiar disinfectant found in medicine cabinets and first-aid kits.
