2-Methyl-hentriacontane

2-Methyl-Hentriacontane belongs to the class of organic compounds known as saturated hydrocarbons. These are acyclic branched hydrocarbons that contains only saturated carbon atoms, which are linked to one another through single bonds. These includes alkanes and cycloalkanes. Thus, 2-Methyl-Hentriacontane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 2-Methyl-Hentriacontane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. 2-Methyl-Hentriacontane is a methylated derivative of Hentriacontane. Hentriacontane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within common pea. 2-Methyl-Hentriacontane is one of many alkanes that are found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645).
