Isopropyl alcohol is used as a sterlizing agent in medicine. Isopropyl alcohol is twice as toxic as ethanol because it does not cause anion gap acidoses. Isopropanol is oxidized into acetone, and cannot leave the cell. Therefore it toxifizes the plant, and it dies. The plants defence mechanism, is peroxidase, which reduces/kills phenols, alochols, and microrganisms. Once the peroxidase cannot reduce the antigens anymore, it will kill the plant. I havent found an exact answer to this question online, but this is my guess. Have a nice day. Isopropyl alcohol is used as a sterlizing agent in medicine.
