Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Hexanol
Description1-Hexanol, also known as 1-hexyl alcohol or alcohol(C6), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols. These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, 1-hexanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 1-Hexanol exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. 1-Hexanol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 1-Hexanol is a potentially toxic compound.
