Description	1-tricosanol, also known as N-tricosyl alcohol, is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. 1-tricosanol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-tricosanol can be synthesized from tricosane. 1-tricosanol can also be synthesized into 22-methyltricosan-1-ol. 1-tricosanol can be found in black elderberry and coriander, which makes 1-tricosanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
