PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Tetracosan-1-ol is a very long-chain primary fatty alcohol that is tetracosane in which a hydrogen attached to one of the terminal carbons is replaced by a hydroxy group. It has been isolated from a variety of plants, including grape seeds, evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), pitaya fruits (Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus undatus), and the flowers of Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a fatty alcohol 24:0 and a very long-chain primary fatty alcohol. It derives from a hydride of a tetracosane.
