Selachyl alcohol is an organic compound with the formula HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OC18H35. It is a colorless oil. Selachyl alcohol is a monoether formed by condensation of oleyl alcohol with one of the two primary alcohol sites of glycerol. Together with S-batyl alcohol and S-chimyl alcohol, S-selachyl alcohol is a component of some lipid membranes.[1] It is found in the liver of the shark Centrophorus squamosus.[2] The name selachyl is derived from a classification of sharks, the neoselachii. Like other glyceryl ethers, those derived from selachyl alcohol are not saponifiable.[3]
