1-Hexacosanol /ˌhɛksɪˈkɒsɪnɒl/, also known as ceryl alcohol, is a saturated primary fatty alcohol with a carbon chain length of 26 that is a white waxy solid at room temperature. It is freely soluble in chloroform and insoluble in water. It occurs naturally in the epicuticular wax and plant cuticle of many plant species.[1]
