Nonacosane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C29H60, and the structural formula CH3(CH2)27CH3. CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences and alloys. ... The molecular mass of a substance (less accurately called molecular weight and abbreviated as MW) is the mass of one molecule of that substance, relative to the unified atomic mass unit u (equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12). ... An alkane in organic chemistry is a type of hydrocarbon in which the molecule has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms and so has no double bonds (they are saturated). ... Many chemical compounds, especially hydrocarbons, can exist in different geometric configurations. ...


Nonacosane has been reported to be a component of a pheromone of Orgyia leucostigma, and evidence suggests it plays a role in the chemical communication of several insects, including the female Anopheles stephensi mosquito. Fanning honeybee exposes Nasonov gland (white-at tip of abdomen) releasing pheromone to entice swarm into an empty hive A pheromone is any chemical produced by a living organism that transmits a message to other members of the same species. ... Genera See text. ...


Details of the chemical synthesis of Nonacosane can be found in the following paper:


Bentley, H.R., Henry, J.A., Irvine, D.S., Mukerji, D., and Spring, F.S. 1955. Triterpenoids. Part XXXII. cyclolaudenol, a triterpenoid alcohol from opium. J. Chem. Soc. 596-602.


Nonacosane occurs naturally, and has been identified within several essential oils.

Statement of Dr. A. H. Blatt (947 words)
The only successful technique that has been applied to that so far has been a distillation process, and through the distillation you can get out of it three substances, which I will simply name and pass on.
One of them is a paraffin hydrocarbon known as nonacosane, that is, physiologically, inactive.
If you do a distillation, you get a definite distillate, and all chemists who have worked with Cannabis know it as red oil.
