Melissic acid (or triacontanoic acid) is the organic compound with the formula CH₃(CH₂)₂₈CO₂H. It is classified as a very long chain fatty acid, a subset of saturated fatty acids. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents. Melissic acid gets its name from the Greek word melissa meaning bee, since it was found in beeswax.

Synthesis

n-Triacontanoic acid was synthesized by Bleyberg and Ulrich (1931) and by G.M. Robinson.^[1]

Self-assembly

Triacontanoic acid and triacontanamide (CH₃(CH₂)₂₈-CONH₂) can be self-assembled.^[2]
