Higher homologue of butanol is C_5H_{12}OH and the name is pentanol.

Explanation:

Homologous series are the group of compounds with same basic chemical formula but differ in the length of their carbon chain. They differ by a -CH_2 group.

The IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds are given as follows:

Select the longest possible carbon chain.

For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.

A suffix 'ol' is added at the end of the name if it contains -OH functional group.

Thus higher homologue of butanol is C_5H_{12}OH and the name is pentanol.
