Saturated Monohydric Alcohol

Brief Overview

A monohydric alcohol is an organic compound with one alcohol functional group. You can identify by alcohol by looking for the alcohol functional group, which is an oxygen and a hydrogen atom or a -OH group.

Manufacturing Process

Alcohols can be regarded as hydroxyl derivatives of hydrocarbons. They can be characterized by the number of hydroxyl groups (monohydric, dihydric, etc.), according to their structure (primary, secondary or tertiary), and by the structure of the hydrocarbon function to which the hydroxyl is attached (aliphatic, cyclic, saturated or unsaturated).
