In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group ( -OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. An important group of alcohols is formed by the simple acyclic alcohols, the general formula for which is C nH 2n+1OH. Of those, ethanol (C 2H 5OH) is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, and in common speech the word alcohol means, specifically, ethanol. Other alcohols are usually described with a clarifying adjective, as in isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol) or wood alcohol (methyl alcohol, or methanol). The suffix -ol appears in the IUPAC chemical name of all alcohols. There are three major subsets of alcohols primary (1°), secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°), based upon the number of carbon atoms the C-OH group's carbon (shown in red) is bonded to. Ethanol is a simple 'primary' alcohol. The simplest secondary alcohol is isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol), and a simple tertiary alcohol is tert-butyl alcohol (2-methylpropan-2-ol). The simplest and most commonly used alcohols are methanol and ethanol. Methanol was formerly obtained by the distillation of wood and called "wood alcohol."
