Nonacosane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C29H60, and the structural formula CH3(CH2)27CH3. It has 1,590,507,121 constitutional isomers.
Nonacosane has been reported to be a component of a pheromone of Orgyia leucostigma,[1] and evidence suggests it plays a role in the chemical communication of several insects, including the female Anopheles stephensi mosquito.[2]
Nonacosane occurs naturally, and has been identified within several essential oils. It can also been prepared synthetically.[3]
