What is 1-Triacontanol?

Description

1-Triacontanol is a straight-chain C30 primary alconol. Also known as melissyl alcohol and myricyl alcohol, it occurs naturally as its palmitate ester in plant cuticle waxes and beeswax. Its lab synthesis was first reported in 1934. Its only commercial use is as a plant growth regulator, and it has been widely patented for this use.

Chemical properties

slightly beige flakes. Soluble in most organic solvents; insoluble in water. Combustible.

The Uses of 1-Triacontanol

It was reported to be a new naturally occurring plant-growth regulator. Present in plant cuticle waxes and in beeswax as the palmitate.
