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 . 1-Hexacosanol Ceryl alcohol Cerylic alcohol Hexacosanol Hexacosyl alcohol N-hexacosanol C26H54O 382.7064 382.41746635 hexacosan-1-ol ceryl alcohol 506-52-5 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCO InChI=1S/C26H54O/c1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27/h27H,2-26H2,1H3 IRHTZOCLLONTOC-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols.
