Hexacosan-1-ol, also known as 1-hexacosanol or hexacosyl alcohol, is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, hexacosan-1-ol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Hexacosan-1-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hexacosan-1-ol can be synthesized from hexacosane. Hexacosan-1-ol can also be synthesized into 24-methylhexacosan-1-ol. Hexacosan-1-ol can be found in a number of food items such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, lemon grass, and lettuce, which makes hexacosan-1-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hexacosan-1-ol is a saturated primary fatty alcohol with a carbon chain length of 26 that is a white waxy solid at room temperature. It is freely soluble in chloroform and insoluble in water. It occurs naturally in the epicuticular wax and plant cuticle of many plant species .
hexacosan-1-ol
A very long-chain primary fatty alcohol that is hexacosane in which a hydrogen attached to one of the terminal carbons is replaced by a hydroxy group.
