卅烷醇是一种含三十碳的直链伯醇,分子量438。1933年最早由Chibnall鉴定得知,它是苜蓿等植物体内含有的天然成份。1977年Ries等发现从苜蓿提得的卅烷醇有调节植物生长的活性。其后,在国外有的实验证实了卅烷醇的上述效应,有的实验不能证实,争议较大。1978年,我国厦门大学、江西工学院等许多单位相继研制成功卅烷醇。接着,许多单位进行了卅烷醇对作物的活性和产量试验,其结果也很不一致。 Squalane is a thirty-carbon linear primary alcohol with a molecular weight of 438. It was first identified by Chibnall in 1933 as a natural ingredient contained in plants such as alfalfa. Ries et al. Found in 1977 that alotenoids derived from alfalfa have plant growth regulating activity. Later, some experiments in other countries have confirmed the above effects of 卅 alkanol, some experiments can not be confirmed, the controversy. In 1978, China Xiamen University, Jiangxi Institute of Technology and many other units have been successfully developed alkanol. Subsequently, many units conducted experiments on the activity and yield of 曱 alkanol on crops, and the results were also very inconsistent.
