Common Name2-hexadecanol
Description2-Hexadecanol 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. 2-Hexadecanol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Flakes of cetyl alcohol were left behind on cooling. The name cetyl derives from the whale oil (Latin: Cetus) from which it was first isolated. It is also employed as a lubricant for nuts and bolts, and is the active ingredient in some "liquid pool covers" (forming a surface layer to reduce evaporation and retain heat). However, cetyl alcohol is sometimes included in medications used for the treatment of eczema. People who suffer from eczema can be sensitive to cetyl alcohol, though this may be due to impurities rather than cetyl alcohol itself. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. Cetyl alcohol is used in the cosmetic industry as an opacifier in shampoos, or as an emollient, emulsifier or thickening agent in the manufacture of skin creams and lotions. Modern production is based around the reduction of palmitic acid, which is obtained from palm oil. 2-hexadecanol is found in Zingiber officinale. Cetyl alcohol was discovered in 1817 by the French chemist Michel Chevreul when he heated spermaceti, a waxy substance obtained from sperm whale oil, with caustic potash (potassium hydroxide).
