Oleyl alcohol / ˈ oʊ l i ˌ ɪ l, ˈ oʊ l i əl /, [1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C 18 H 36 O or the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 8 OH. It is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
Most fatty alcohols in nature are found as waxes, which are esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols. [1] They are produced by bacteria, plants and animals for purposes of buoyancy, as source of metabolic water and energy, biosonar lenses (marine mammals) and for thermal insulation in the form of waxes (in plants and insects).

Selachyl alcohol is an organic compound with the formula HOCH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OC 18 H 35. It is a colorless oil. Selachyl alcohol is a monoether formed by condensation of oleyl alcohol with one of the two primary alcohol sites of glycerol. Together with S-batyl alcohol and S-chimyl alcohol, S-selachyl alcohol is a component of some lipid membranes ...
CAS Number. 506-43-4 ... Linoleyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol. [1] A colorless oil, it is produced by the reduction of the carboxylic acid group in linoleic acid. [2]
Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution). Such substances are said to be miscible (etymologically equivalent to the common term "mixable").
1-Pentadecanol is an organic chemical compound classified as an alcohol. At room temperature, it is a white, flaky solid. [1] It is a saturated long-chain fatty alcohol consisting of a pentadecane chain with a hydroxy group as substituent on one end. It is an achiral molecule (meaning that it has no mirror-image isomers). [5]
It is a fatty alcohol. Many other isomers are also known generically as octanols. 1-Octanol is manufactured for the synthesis of esters for use in perfumes and flavorings. It has a pungent odor. Esters of octanol, such as octyl acetate, occur as components of essential oils. [3] It is used to evaluate the lipophilicity of pharmaceutical products.
2-Pentanol (IUPAC name: pentan-2-ol; also called sec-amyl alcohol) is an organic chemical compound.It is used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacturing of other chemicals. 2-Pentanol is a component of many mixtures of amyl alcohols sold industrially. 2-Pentanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(−)-2-pentanol and (S)-(+)-2-pentanol.
