Aunque habitualmente por "octanol" ya se sobreentiende que hablamos del "1-octanol", es mejor precisarlo, ya que también hay el 2-octanol (o octan-2-ol), el 3-octanol (o octan-3-ol) y el 4-octanol (o octan-4-ol).

  -> Lo cual no me parece nada aconsejable: tan octanol es el 1-octanol como el 2-octanol, el 3-octanol o el 4-octanol.
