Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2,6-Dimethyl-hexadecane
Description2,6-dimethyl-hexadecane belongs to the class of organic compounds known as branched alkanes. These are acyclic branched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2. 2,6-dimethyl-hexadecane is possibly neutral. 2,6-dimethyl-hexadecane is a dimethylated derivative of hexadecane, also known as cetane. The name “hexadecane” can be applied to any alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C16H34, or to a mixture of them. However, the IUPAC nomenclature refers exclusively to one isomer, the normal or n-tetradecane, with a straight-chain CH3(CH2)14CH3. Hexadecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Hexadecane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Hexadecane is a fuel/ diesel tasting compound. Outside of the human body, hexadecane is found in black walnuts, among other natural sources. Hexadecanes are combustible colourless liquids. They have no specific industrial value other than being a part of fuels and solvents. 2,6-dimethyl-hexadecane is one of the alkanes identified in Cannabis sativa (PMID: 6991645 ).
