Metabolite Identification
Common NameArachidyl alcohol
DescriptionArachidyl alcohol, also known as 1-eicosanol or eicosyl alcohol, 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, arachidyl alcohol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Arachidyl alcohol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
