Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Hexadecanol
Description1-Hexadecanol, also known as cetyl alcohol or cetanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols. These are fatty alcohols that have an aliphatic tail of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Thus, 1-hexadecanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 1-Hexadecanol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 1-Hexadecanol is a potentially toxic compound.
