Large quantities of ethyl alcohol are produced synthetically from both ethylene or acetylene Ethyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a characteristic and somewhat pleasant odor. It is miscible with water in all proportions. The boiling point of the pure alcohol is 7837C, but it forms a constant-boiling mixture with water that contains 95.57C per cent alcohol by weight and boils at 78.15.. Ethyl alcohol is the least toxic of all the alcohols and is present in all alcoholic beverages

Of all synthetic compounds, ethyl alcohol ranks first in quantity produced and economic value. It is used as a solvent in the preparation of tinctures, essences, extracts and varnishes. It is used in the preparation of iodoform, ether medicinals, dyes, perfumes, collodion, and solvents for the lacquer industry. It is used to some extent as a motor fuel and is currently under study as an additive to gasolines containing no tetraethyl lead to increase the octane rating

Alcohols containing two or more hydroxy groups can be made. Ethylene glycol C2H4(OH)2, and glycerol, C3H5(OH), are important examples Ethylene glycol is used as a solvent and as an antifreeze in automobile radiators Glycerol (also called glycerin) is produced, along with soap, when either fats or oils are heated with alkali
