Hexadecane
Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Template:Chembox Hexadecane (also called cetane) is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C16H34. Hexadecane consists of a chain of 16 carbon atoms, with three hydrogen atoms bonded to the two end carbon atoms, and two hydrogens bonded to each of the 14 other carbon atoms. Isohexadecane is a branch chained isomer of hexadecane.[1]
Cetane number
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Cetane is often used as a shorthand for cetane number, a measure of the combustion of diesel fuel.[2] Cetane ignites very easily under compression; for this reason, it is assigned a cetane number of 100, and serves as a reference for other fuel mixtures.[3]
Hexadecyl radical
Hexadecyl, or cetyl, is an alkyl radical of carbon and hydrogen derived from hexadecane, with formula C16H33 and with mass 225.433,[4] occurring especially in cetyl alcohol.[5] It confers strong hydrophobicity on molecules containing it.[6] Carboplatin modified with hexadecyl and polyethylene glycol has increased liposolubility and PEGylation, and is proposed to useful in chemotherapy, specifically non-small-cell lung cancer.[7]
Hexadecyl was used from 1982 for radiolabelling,[8] and this continues to be useful,[9] for example for radiolabelling exosomes and hydrogels,[10] and for positron emission tomography.[11]
Hexadecyl platelet-activating factor has profound effects on the lung,[12] and hexadecyl glyceryl ether participates in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens.[13]
