These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Heptadecane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule that is volatile, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. In the IUPAC nomenclature, the name of this compound is simply heptadecane, since the other isomers are viewed and named as alkyl-substituted versions of smaller alkanes. The unbranched isomer is normal or n-heptadecane. Indeed, it is believed to be the smallest "impossible" alkane. Heptadecane has been detected in lemon balms, coconuts, orange bell peppers, allspices, and pepper (c. annuum). This could make heptadecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Heptadecane blocks the de novo synthesis of fatty acids and has an anti-inflammatory effect in aged kidneys (PMID: 23555655).HeptadecaneHeptadecane-CPDHeptadekann-HEPTADECANE, 99%Normal-heptadecaneC17H36240.4677240.281701152heptadecaneheptadecane629-78-7CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCInChI=1S/C17H36/c1-3-5-7-9-11-13-15-17-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2/h3-17H2,1-2H3NDJKXXJCMXVBJW-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes.
