Product Information
Name:1-Hexadecanol
Synonyms:
- Cetyl alcohol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:1-Hexadecanol is a monohydroxy alcohol that is used as a surfactant in analytical chemistry. It can be found naturally in the secretions of some glands and has an optimum concentration of 0.2% to 1%. 1-Hexadecanol has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by reducing the mitochondrial membrane potential, which leads to cell death. 1-Hexadecanol also reacts with benzalkonium chloride to form ester hydrochloride, which is a reagent for the detection of bacteria. The reaction mechanism for this process is not yet fully understood, but it may involve a metastable form of 1-hexadecanol reacting with benzalkonium chloride.
