描述
Decan-2-ol, also known as 2-decanol, 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. Decan-2-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Decan-2-ol can be found in corn, which makes decan-2-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
