An alcohol with a large molecular weight. Usually refers to aliphatic alcohols with 12 or more carbon atoms. It is esterified with fatty acids and exists widely in animals and plants as a wax. It can be obtained by saponifying wax with concentrated sodium hydroxide or by reducing higher fatty acid esters. It is a waxy neutral substance that is insoluble in water. As the number of carbon atoms increases, it becomes less soluble in organic solvents. Cetyl alcohol C 16 H 33 OH is obtained from spermaceti, ceryl alcohol C 26 H 53 OH from China wax, and myricyl alcohol C 30 H 61 OH from beeswax. It is used as a raw material for surfactants, plasticizers, and synthetic lubricants.
