| methyl alcohol | CH3OH;a flammable, toxic, mobile liquid, used as an industrial solvent, antifreeze, and in chemical manufacture; ingestion may result in severe acidosis, visual impairment, and other effects on the central nervous system. Synonym: carbinol, methanol, pyroligneous alcohol, pyroligneous spirit, pyroxylic spirit, wood alcohol, wood naphtha, wood spirit. (05 Mar 2000) |

| phenethyl alcohol | <chemical> An antimicrobial, antiseptic, and disinfectant that is used also as an aromatic essence and preservative in pharmaceutics and perfumery. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local, disinfectants, preservatives, pharmaceutical. Chemical name: Benzeneethanol (12 Dec 1998) |
| phenyl alcohol | <chemistry> 1. A white or pinkish crystalline substance, C6H5OH, produced by the destructive distillation of many organic bodies, as wood, coal, etc, and obtained from the heavy oil from coal tar. It has a peculiar odour, somewhat resembling creosote, which is a complex mixture of phenol derivatives. It is of the type of alcohols, and is called also phenyl alcohol, but has acid properties, and hence is popularly called carbolic acid, and was formerly called phenic acid. It is a powerful caustic poison, and in dilute solution has been used as an antiseptic. 2. Any one of the series of hydroxyl derivatives of which phenol proper is the type. <chemistry> Glacial phenol, any one of a series of compounds having both phenol and aldehyde properties. Phenol phthalein. See Phthalein. Origin: Gr. To show + -ol: cf. F. Phenol. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| phenylethyl alcohol | <chemical> An antimicrobial, antiseptic, and disinfectant that is used also as an aromatic essence and preservative in pharmaceutics and perfumery. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local, disinfectants, preservatives, pharmaceutical. Chemical name: Benzeneethanol (12 Dec 1998) |
| rubbing alcohol | An alcoholic mixture intended for external use; it usually contains 70% by volume of absolute alcohol or isopropyl alcohol; the remainder consists of water, denaturants (with and without coal tar colours), and perfume oils; used as a rubefacient for muscle and joint aches and pains.

| wax alcohol | A long chain alcohol, analogous to the fatty acids, of which the fatty alcohol may be viewed as a reduction product; e.g., octadecanol from stearic acid. It is often found esterified in waxes. Synonym: wax alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |

| wood alcohol | CH3OH;a flammable, toxic, mobile liquid, used as an industrial solvent, antifreeze, and in chemical manufacture; ingestion may result in severe acidosis, visual impairment, and other effects on the central nervous system.
