General description
1-Hexadecanol is a fatty alcohol used in surfactants, lubricants, detergents, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Application
1-Hexadecanol has been used in preparation of:
- (±)-2-methoxyheptadecanoic acid (fatty acid)
- high-chain fatty acid esters of 1-hexadecanol, novel organic phase change material for thermal energy storage
- hexadecane (alkane) in the presence of membrane fraction of Vibrio furnissii M1

The fatty acids (±)-2-methoxy-6Z-heptadecenoic acid (1), (±)-2-methoxy-6-heptadecynoic acid (2) and (±)-2-methoxyheptadecanoic acid (3) were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against the Leishmania DNA topoisomerase IB enzyme (LdTopIB) determined. Acids 1 and 2 were synthesized from 4-bromo-1-pentanol, the former in ten

Most vascular flowering plants have the capacity to form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The symbiosis develops in the roots where AM fungi colonize the root cortex and form arbuscules within the cortical cells. Arbuscules are enveloped in
