Long-chain fatty alcohols are fatty alcohols that have an aliphatic tail of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. 1-heptadecanol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-heptadecanol can be found in black elderberry and potato, which makes 1-heptadecanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1-Heptadecanol 1-Hydroxyheptadecane Heptadecanol Heptadecanol (mixed primary isomers) Heptadecyl alcohol N-heptadecanol n-Heptadecanol-1 Prim-n-heptadecyl alcohol C17H36O 256.4671 256.276615774 heptadecan-1-ol heptadecyl alcohol 1454-85-9 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCO InChI=1S/C17H36O/c1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18/h18H,2-17H2,1H3 GOQYKNQRPGWPLP-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols.
