What is the difference between n-propyl alcohol and propanol?

N-propyl alcohol and propanol refer to the same substance, namely the alcohol compound with the chemical formula C₃H₈O, also known as 1-propanol.

 

This is a terminology clarification.

"Propanol" is a general term for any alcohol with 3 carbon atoms. It encompasses two main isomers: 1-propanol and 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol).

"n-Propyl alcohol" is an unambiguous specific name for one of those isomers: 1-propanol. The "n-" explicitly means the normal, straight-chain form.
In essence: n-Propyl alcohol is one specific type of propanol.
