cetyl alcohol

ce·tyl alcohol

C0219400 (sēt′l)n. A solid white waxy alcohol, C₁₆H₃₄O, used as an emulsifier and in cosmetics, perfumes, and pharmaceuticals.

[Latin cētus, whale; see Cetus + -yl.]

ce′tyl al′cohol

(ˈsit l)
n. a white crystalline water-insoluble solid, C₁₆H₃₄O, used chiefly as an emollient in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. [1870–75; < Latin cēt(us) whale; from its being found in spermaceti]

Cetyl Alcohol

cetyl alcohol

[′sēd·əl ′al·kə‚hȯl] (organic chemistry) C₁₅H₃₃OH A colorless wax, insoluble in water although a solution in kerosine forms an insoluble film on water.

Cetyl Alcohol

CH₃(CH₂)₁₄CH₂OH. Also known as hexadecyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol is a saturated primary aliphatic alcohol. A colorless crystalline compound, it is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol and ether. It has a melting point of 49.27°C and a boiling point of 344.0°C.

Compounds of cetyl alcohol are encountered in nature; for example, the cetyl alcohol ester of palmitic acid is the major component of spermaceti. In industry, cetyl alcohol is obtained, along with other higher alcohols, by the catalytic addition of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to olefins (hydroformylation or oxo process) with the subsequent reduction of the aldehydes produced to alcohols and by the hydrogenation of palmitic acid. It is used in cosmetics and as a starting material in the production of surfactants.

cetyl alcohol

ce·tyl al·co·hol

(sē'tăl al'kŏ-hol), The 16-carbon alcohol corresponding to palmitic acid, so called because it is isolated from among the hydrolysis products of spermaceti; it is used as an emulsifying aid and in the preparation of "washable" (oil in water emulsions) ointment bases. Synonym(s): 1-hexadecanol, palmityl alcohol
