1-Tetratriacontanol, also known as tetratriacontanol or C34 alcohol, is a long-chain primary fatty alcohol. It belongs to the class of alcohols known as triacontanols due to its 30-carbon backbone. Tetratriacontanol is a white waxy solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is found naturally in various sources, including plant waxes, bee waxes, and some animal fats. It may also be synthesized for various applications.
