A group of prenol derivatives in which \(n\) in the general formula $\ce{H–[CH2–C(CH3)=CH–CH2]_{n}–OH}$ is greater than four and in which the residue that carries the hydroxy group is saturated, i.e. 2,3-dihydropolyprenols.
Note: The collective term prenol should not be used without qualification to include dolichols since these are derivatives of prenols.
