Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Octacosanol
Description1-Octacosanol (also known as n-octacosanol, octacosyl alcohol, cluytyl alcohol, montanyl alcohol) is a straight-chain aliphatic 28-carbon primary fatty alcohol that is common in the epicuticular waxes of plants, including the leaves of many species of Eucalyptus, of most forage and cereal grasses, of Acacia, Trifolium, Pisum and many other legume genera among many others, sometimes as the major wax constituent. Octacosanol also occurs in wheat germ. Octacosanol is insoluble in water but freely soluble in low molecular-weight alkanes and in chloroform (CHCl3). 1-Octacosanol is found in apple.
