Acyclic aliphatic alcohols are simple organic compounds with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to an open, non-aromatic carbon chain. These alcohols are versatile, serving as solvents, disinfectants, and key intermediates in chemical synthesis. Ethanol, a widely used alcohol, falls into this category and is utilized in various applications, including beverages, cleaning products, and as a biofuel. These alcohols play a fundamental role in both industrial and consumer products.
