Template:Alcohols
Hi Arcadian. IMHO methanol does not belong to the primary alcohols, as the carbon, where the OH-group is attached to, has no bond to another carbon (unlike e.g. ethanol). --Leyo (talk) 18:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have adjusted the template accordingly. I have also created an article for primary alcohol, and I would encourage you to expand it. --Arcadian (talk) 18:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Biochemical familie
I think the biochemical familie should be removed from this template. Its just links to other templates, and not related to biologically to all the alcohols. And it looks like there are two templates in one. Christian75 (talk) 20:58, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Link to deleted portal removed
The Alcohols portal was recently deleted. I've removed the red link from the template. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 08:12, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Alcohols
"In food control, analysis of alcohols includes a specic group of components that include the so-called low-molecular-weight alcohols (i.e., methanol and ethanol), higher aliphatic alcohols, or higher molecular-weight alcohols (i.e., propanol, butanol, pentanol, and hexanol and their corresponding isomers). In this last group, some of the so-called higher alcohols are included, that is, those containing from 4 to 10 atoms of carbon, although C8, C9, and C10 alcohols also belong to the fatty alcohols group, that is, those in which the carbon skeleton contains from 8 to 20 atoms of carbon. All these alcohols have one hydroxyl moiety (monohydric alcohols), but in foods, dihydric alcohols and trihydric alcohols can also be found. Other kinds of alcohols

are sugar alcohols or polyols. Sugar alcohols have the general formula H(HCHO)n+1H. They are hydrogenated form of carbohydrates, whose carbonyl group has been reduced to an alcohol group. The most abundant compounds in foods are aliphatic alcohols, but there are other sorts of compounds in smaller quantities such as cycloaliphatic and aromatic alcohols, among them, complex alcohols such as phenols, terpenic mono-and dialcohol, as, for example, sterols and vitamin E. Even though these latter compounds have at least one alcohol group, they have chemical properties quite different to other typical alcohols, and for that reason, they will not be treated in this chapter." - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9780429153747/chapters/10.1201/b18668-33

Nonanol
you added Nonanol to the template, but the only two nonanols with articles, 1-Nonanol and 2-Nonanol are already separately included. So is it necessary to link to the disambiguation page too? If it is necessary, the link should be piped to link to the redirect Nonanol (disambiguation) per WP:INTDAB. Lennart97 (talk) 12:19, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
