In general, the hydroxyl group makes alcohols polar. Those groups can form hydrogen bonds to one another and to most other compounds. 24034-73-9, formula is C20H34O, Owing to the presence of the polar OH alcohols are more water-soluble than simple hydrocarbons. Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are miscible in water. Butanol, with a four-carbon chain, is moderately soluble. Name: (2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraen-1-ol
Ehiabhi, Okhale Samuel;Modupeoluwa, Ogunfowokan Ifeoluwapo research published 《 Comparative essential oil composition of Laurus nobilis, Syzygium guineense and Syzygium eucalyptoides in search for Nigerian bay leaf – Part I》, the research content is summarized as follows. Bay leaf is an aromatic leaf commonly used in cooking for its distinctive flavor and fragrance. The bay leaf sold in Nigerian markets being Laurus nobilis (L. nobilis) is imported. The leaf of Syzygium guineense (S. guineense) and Syzygium eucalyptoides (S. eucalyptoides) have a long history of use as vegetables and spices in Nigeria. In this study, leaf of S. guineense, S. eucalyptoides, and a com. sample of L. nobilis being the gold standard for bay leaf, were evaluated for comparative essential oil composition in search of Nigerian bay leaf. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus The essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major chem. constituents of the essential oil of L. nobilis were eucalyptol (9.33%), α- pinene (8.31%), and camphene (3.17%). S. guineensec contained β-myrcene (12.29%), globulol (7.60%), phytol (6.63%) and trans-ocimene (6.08%). S. eucalyptoides leaf essential oil contained 6-octadecanoic acid (16.37%), phytol (8.46%), 6-octadenanoic acid (9%), pentadenanoic acid (7.26%), caryophyllenyl alc. (6.17%). L. nobilis leaf essential oil contained 75 constituents; 16 out of S. guineense essential oil constituents (21%) matched those of L. nobilis and S. eucalyptoides had 6 correspondings to 8% match. This study provided preliminary information for; further, assessment of S. guineense, S. eucalyptoides and other aromatic plants for possible use as Nigerian bay leaf and a replacement for L. nobilis.
Name: (2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraen-1-ol, Geranylgeraniol is a diterpenoid that is hexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3, 7, 11 and 15 and a hydroxy group at position 1. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component and an antileishmanial agent. It is a diterpenoid and a polyprenol.
Geranylgeraniol, a precursor to geranylgeranylpyrophosphate, is an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol has been shown to prevent bone re-absorption, inhibition of osteoclast formation, and kinase activation in vitro. When working with statins, Geranylgeraniol can reduce the toxicity without inhibiting the cholesterol-producing effects. Geranylgeraniol has been documented to counteract the effects of fluvastatin by inhibiting activation of caspase-1 and production of IL-1. Additionally Geranylgeraniol has been found to induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells.
