Lignoceric acid, ortetracosanoic acid, is thesaturated fatty acid with formulaC23H47COOH. It is found inwood tar, variouscerebrosides, and in small amounts in most naturalfats. The fatty acids ofpeanut oil contain small amounts of lignoceric acid (1.1% – 2.2%).[1] This fatty acid is also a byproduct oflignin production.
Reduction of lignoceric acid yieldslignoceryl alcohol.
