The article mentions propyl alcohol, AKA 1-propanol and n-propyl alcohol.
It is very different to isopropyl alcohol, AKA 2-propanol.
They are structural isomers but have very different physical characteristics and metabolic products.
1-propanol is classified as a fusel alcohol and is an unwanted byproduct of grain fermentation and distillation. It is responsible for the “popskull” effect of cheap liquor.
