Solanesol
Solanesol is a naturally occurring acyclic alcohol that is found in various plants, most notably in the leaves of tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum). Its chemical formula is C22H44O. It belongs to the class of compounds known as isoprenoids and is characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a hydroxyl group at one end. Solanesol is a viscous liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
The extraction of solanesol is typically performed from dried tobacco leaves, often as a byproduct of nicotine
