HENEICOSANOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white shiny flakes

Uses

1-Heneicosanol is a long-chain alcohol with 21 carbon atoms commonly used in the production of surfactants, lubricants and pharmaceuticals. It can be found in various natural sources such as vegetable waxes and insect pheromones. Additionally, it has been shown to be bioactive against plants and animals and has antimicrobial properties.

Definition

ChEBI: A long-chain primary fatty alcohol that is henicosane in which a hydrogen attached to one of the terminal carbons is replaced by a hydroxy group. It has been isolated from the aerial parts of Siegesbeckia orientalis and from an Italian bread w eat variety, Pegaso, and its 11 near-isogenic lines.
