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.

Cetane number

Cetane is often used as a shorthand for cetane number, a measure of the combustion of diesel fuel.[3] 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.[4]

Hexadecyl

Hexadecyl is a functional group chain radical of carbon and hydrogen, with formula C16H33 and with mass 225.433.[5] It is "an alkyl radical derived from a hexadecane," especially a cetyl.[6] It is a noted hydrophobe.[7]

The substance synthesized by Hexadecyl, Carboplatin and polyethylene glycol appears to have increased liposolubility and PEGylation qualities. This may be useful in chemotherapy, specifically non-small cell lung cancer.[8]

Hexadecyl was noted as early as 1982 for its role in radiolabelling.[9] The technique of which it forms a vital part has continued to be useful even as late as 2017.[10] In fact, it is useful to radiolabel exosomes and hydrogels.[11]

Hexadecyl is a bridge molecule important for positron emission tomography.[12]

Hexadecyl platelet-activating factor "has profound effects on the lung".[13]

Hexadecyl and octadecyl groups are favoured by some in the production of Lysophosphatidic acid.[14]

Hexadecyl glyceryl ether is important in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens.[15]
