Heptadecane

Description:

Heptadecane, with the chemical formula C17H36, is a straight-chain alkane that consists of 17 carbon atoms and 36 hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless, odorless, and waxy solid at room temperature, typically melting at around 28-30 degrees Celsius. Heptadecane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. This hydrocarbon is part of the larger family of alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons characterized by single bonds between carbon atoms. Heptadecane is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a standard in the determination of boiling points and in the study of phase transitions. Its relatively high molecular weight contributes to its higher melting and boiling points compared to shorter-chain alkanes. Additionally, heptadecane can be found in certain natural sources, such as in the waxy coatings of plants and in some animal fats. As with other alkanes, it is non-toxic and poses minimal environmental hazards under normal conditions.

Heptadecane is a saturated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C17H36. It is used in pharmaceutical preparations as an ethylene diamine stabilizer and to aid in chemical stability. Heptadecane has been shown to have a high affinity for cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are responsible for metabolizing drugs. Heptadecane also aids in the synthesis of fatty acids and is used as a model system to study the metabolism of fatty acids by cytochrome P450 enzymes. The chemical structures of heptadecane include one hydroxyl group, two methyl groups, and three methylene groups.
