Preferred Label : dolichols;
IUPAC definition : A group of prenol derivatives in which n in the general formula H–[CH sub 2 /sub –C(CH
sub 3 /sub ) CH–CH sub 2 /sub ] sub i n /i /sub –OH is greater than 4 and in which
the residue that carries the hydroxy group is saturated, i.e. 2,3-dihydropolyprenols.;
Scope note : the collective term prenol should not be used without qualification to include dolichols
since these are derivatives of prenols.;
