Pentatriacontane is a hydrocarbon from the group of paraffins, an organic chemical compound of the alkane class. The chemical formula is C35H72.[1][2][3]
It was first obtained by reducing pentatriacontane chloride, which was obtained in turn by the reaction of phosphorus pentachloride with stearone, in reaction with hydrogen iodide and phosphorus heated to 240 °C.[4]
