Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group, ?OH, attached to an alkyl group; general formula, ROH.

Organic compounds that contain one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH functional groups) in each molecule. Alcohols used in cleaners include ethyl, methyl, propyl and butyl. Aliphatic Solvents

Alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group. They are classified according to relation of the Carbon atom: primary alcohols, R-CH2OH; secondary alcohols, R2-CHOH; tertiary alcohols, R3-COH. (From Gran [..]

Compounds possessing both a hydroxyl (-OH) and an amino group (-NH2).

Alcohols derived from the aryl radical (C6H5CH2-) and defined by C6H5CHOH. The concept includes derivatives with any substituents on the Benzene ring.

Cholestanes substituted in any position with one or more hydroxy groups. They are found in Feces and Bile. In contrast to Bile Acids and Salts, they are not reabsorbed.

Isomeric Forms and derivatives of butanol (C4H9OH).

Usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary Alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4 carbons, derived from natural Fats and Oils, including lauryl, stearyl, oleyl, and linoleyl Alcohols [..]

Isomeric Forms and derivatives of hexanol (C6H11OH).

Isomeric Forms and derivatives of octanol (C8H17OH).

Isomeric Forms and derivatives of pentanol (C5H11OH).

Isomeric Forms and derivatives of Propanol (C3H7OH).

Polyhydric Alcohols having no more than one hydroxy group attached to each Carbon atom. They are formed by the reduction of the Carbonyl group of a sugar to a hydroxyl group.(From Dorland, 28th ed)

Alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group. They are classified according to relation of the carbon atom: primary alcohols, R-CH2OH; secondary alcohols, R2-CHOH; tertiary alcohols, R3-COH. (From Gran [..]

  A group of organic compounds derived from the alkanes by the substitution of one hydroxyl radical for one hydrogen atom. In some benign forms, they are glycols used as humectants that help deliver ingredients into the skin as in skin moisturizers. There are many: ethanol, denatured alcohol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcoh [..]

Alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group. They are classified according to relation of the carbon atom: primary alcohols, r-ch2oh; secondary alcohols, r2-choh; tertiary alcohols, r3-coh. (12 Dec 1998)

Alcohols are amongst the most common organic compounds. Well-known alcohols include methanol (methyl alcohol, or wood alcohol), ethanol (ethyl alcohol, or grain alcohol) and isopropyl alcohol (the common alcohol known as rubbing alcohol and used as a germicide). Alcohols are also valuable as intermediates in the synthesis of other compounds.
