1-Triacontanol

1-​Triacontanol is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator. 1-​Triacontanol is a saturated long-chain alcohol that has growth-promoting activities on a number of plants[1].

Triacontan-1-ol is an ultra-long-chain primary fatty alcohol that is triacontane in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group. It is a fatty alcohol 30:0 and an ultra-long-chain primary fatty alcohol.

Tricosyl alcohol is often combined with higher fatty acids to form esters, which are commonly found in insect waxes or plants, such as beeswax, sugar wax, cane wax, cotton wax, alfalfa wax, apple peel wax, tea wax, etc. In Chinese beeswax, the content of triacontanol is as high as 30%, which is generally composed of triacontanol palmitate, triaconyl waxate and tridecyl hexadecenoate. These esters undergo a saponification reaction with alkali to produce higher fatty acid sodium and triosyl alcohol. During saponification, a solvent (such as benzene, petroleum ether, etc.) is added for extraction, and then the solvent is removed to obtain a product containing higher monohydric alcohols such as triacontanol and hydrocarbons, and the pure product is obtained by dehydrocarbon purification. The total yield is 10-15%. In some test examples, a phase transfer catalyst (quaternary amine salt or crown ether) was also added during saponification, which shortened the saponification reaction time, and the yield of triacontanol was slightly increased. Using decadiodioic acid as the raw material, the alkylzinc chloride method, or the metathesis reaction of hexadecene and the hydrogenation reaction of zirconium, as well as some other methods can also synthesize triacontanol.

Used as a plant growth regulator, it has a relatively large yield increase effect on rice, wheat, cotton, soybean, corn, sorghum, sugarcane, etc.; a pollution-free plant growth regulator. It has a variety of physiological functions: promote energy storage, improve cell permeability, regulate physiological functions, increase chlorophyll content, increase photosynthetic intensity, enhance enzyme activity, promote mineral absorption, promote seed germination, root rooting, improve maturity, and increase protein Content and dry matter quality. It has obvious effects on increasing production and improving quality of rice, wheat, cotton, soybean, corn, sorghum, tobacco, sugar beet, peanut, vegetables, fruit trees, sugar cane, oil crops, etc. The general concentration is 0.01～0.5mg/L, 0.5～1mg/L for spraying, and 1～5mg/L for soaking branches.
