I-alcohol chemical compound iwuhlobo lwe-organic compound equkethe iqembu le-hydroxyl (-OH) elixhunywe ku-athomu ye-carbon.Ngokuvamile isetshenziswa njenge-solvent, isibaseli, nesibulala-magciwane.Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zotshwala, okuhlanganisa i-methanol, i-ethanol, i-propanol, ne-butanol, ngayinye enezakhiwo ezihlukene kanye nezicelo.I-Ethanol, isibonelo, iwuhlobo lotshwala olutholakala ophuzweni oludakayo futhi lusetshenziswa njenge-biofuel.Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-methanol isetshenziswa njengesinyibilikisi sezimboni nasekukhiqizeni i-formaldehyde namanye amakhemikhali.Nakuba uphuzo oludakayo lunezinto eziningi eziwusizo, lungaba nobuthi futhi luvuthe uma lungaphathwa kahle.
