  • Scientific Description
    Chemical. CAS: 638-36-8. Formula: C20H42. MW: 282.55. Phytane is the isoprenoid alkane formed when phytol, a constituent of chlorophyll, loses its hydroxyl group. Pristane is a common constituent in petroleum and has been used as proxy for depositional redox conditions, as well as for correlating oil and its source rock. In environmental studies, pristane is a target compound for investigating oil spills. This compound can be used as a reference substance. - Phytane is the isoprenoid alkane formed when phytol, a constituent of chlorophyll, loses its hydroxyl group.
