In spite of the same OH group as in bases, butanol is not a hydroxide (base, alkaline) it is an alcohol (alkanol) in the organic group of compounds: they do not ionise or hydrolyse in water, no OH- ions are split off.
There are 3 formula isomers of butanol: CH2OH-CH2-CH2-CH3 (1-butanol) and CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3 (2R-butanol) and CH3-C(OH)H-CH2-CH3 (2S-butanol), the '2R' and '2S' butanol formula's are mirror isomers.
