Brit.

/ˈmɪrᵻsʌɪl/,

/ˈmɪrᵻsɪl/,

/ˈmʌɪrᵻsʌɪl/,

/ˈmʌɪrᵻsɪl/, U.S.

/ˈmɪrəˌsɪl/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: myricin n., -yl suffix.

Etymology: < myric- (in myricin n.) + -yl suffix. Compare myricylic adj. N.E.D. (1908) gives the pronunciations (mirəi·sil, mi·risil) /mɪˈraɪsɪl/, /ˈmɪrɪsɪl/.

Chemistry.

The straight-chain hydrocarbon radical —C₃₀H₆₁. Also called melissyl. Usually attributive.

ΚΠ

1865 H. Watts Dict. Chem. III. 1069 Myricyl, Hydrate of, Melissic alcohol, Melissin.

1924 J. B. Cohen Pract. Org. Chem. (ed. 3) 464 Palmitic acid..occurs also as the cetyl ester in spermaceti and as the myricyl ester in bees-wax.

1947 A. H. Warth Chem. & Technol. Waxes 172 The solid matter separated as a wax from corn oil consists largely of the myricyl esters of tetracosanic and iso-behenic acids.

Compounds

myricyl alcohol n. = melissyl alcohol n. at melissyl n. Compounds.

ΚΠ

1868 H. B. Jones & H. Watts Fownes's Man. Elem. Chem. (ed. 10) 633 Myricyl Alcohol..is obtained from myricin.

1925 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 11 637 Langmuir has found that a film of palmitic acid is 25, and of myricyl alcohol, 41Å thick.

1934 C. C. Steele Introd. Plant Biochem. ii. vi. 52 The principal alcohols are cetyl, C₁₆H₃₃OH, ceryl, C₂₆H₅₃OH, and melissyl (myricyl), C₃₀H₆₁OH.

1984 Jrnl. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 8 47 From the rectified spirit extract of the residual barks [of Jatropha gossypifolia] carnaubylpalmitate and myricyl alcohol have also been isolated.

myricyl palmitate n. = myricin n.

ΚΠ

1868 H. B. Jones & H. Watts Fownes's Man. Elem. Chem. (ed. 10) 731 Palmitic acid exists also as..myricyl palmitate.

1904 Bot. Gaz. 37 311 The chief constituent of beeswax is myricyl palmitate.

1957 Amer. Naturalist 91 323 The catabolism of myricyl palmitate, a major constituent of most waxes, can..be followed and measured by an increase in its saponification number.
