Nonacosane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C29H60, and the structural formula CH327CH3. It has 1,590,507,121 constitutional isomers.
Nonacosane occurs naturally and 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.
