Tridecane is a straight chain alkane containing 13 carbon atoms.
Tridecane forms a component of the essential oils isolated from plants such as Abelmoschus esculentus.
Tridecane has a role as a plant metabolite and a volatile oil component.
Tridecane or n-tridecane is an alkane with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)11CH3 Tridecane is a combustible colourless liquid.
In industry, they have no specific value aside from being components of various fuels and solvents.
In the research laboratory, tridecane is also used as a distillation chaser.
Tridecane, also known as CH3-[CH2]11-CH3 or tridekan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes.
These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Thus, tridecane is considered to be a hydrocarbon. Tridecane is an alkane tasting compound. Tridecane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as black walnuts (Juglans nigra), limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), and safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius). Tridecane has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sweet bays (Laurus nobilis), citrus, cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), allspices (Pimenta dioica), and cardamoms (Elettaria cardamomum). This could make tridecane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Tridecane is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Tridecane.
Tridecane is a light, colourless liquid that can be produced from allspice or isolated from lime oil.
Tridecane is a combustible, colorless liquid used in organic synthesis.
Tridecane is also used in jet-fuel research, in the manufacture of paraffin products, in the rubber industry, in the paper processing industry, and a solvent and distillation chaser.
Tridecane forms a light, fresh, fast-spreading emollient derived from 100% renewable feedstocks.
Tridecane volatile hydrocarbon is an ecocert approved, sustainably sourced alternative to the silicone cyclomethicone and helps products apply easily, absorb quickly and leave a smooth, dry skin feeling.
Tridecane molecule contains a total of 40 bond(s).
There are 12 non-H bond(s) and 10 rotatable bond(s).

USES OF TRIDECANE:
Tridecane is commonly used in combination with other substances, i.e. Undecane or Pentadecane and is known for its conditioning and fast spreading characteristics.
Due to Tridecanes volatile properties, products containing Tridecane are easy to apply, absorb quickly and leave a smooth, dry feeling on hair and skin.

APPLICATION OF TRIDECANE:
Tridecane is generally used as an analytical standard in studying the composition of alkanes in food, biological and industrial samples.
Tridecane may be used as internal standard in the analysis of isomeric ratio of diethyl[(1E)-hexa-1,5-dienyl]methylsilane and diethyl[(1E,4E)-hexa-1,4-dienyl]methylsilane obtained via dehydrogenative silylation of hexa-1,5-diene using gas liquid chromatography(GLC).

STABILITY OF TRIDECANE:
Stable if stored under recommended conditions (see section 7 of SDS).
After three years, the compound should be re-analyzed for chemical purity before use.
REACTIVITY PROFILE OF TRIDECANE:
Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as n-Tridecane, may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid.
Charring of the hydrocarbon may occur followed by ignition of unreacted hydrocarbon and other nearby combustibles.
In other settings, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons are mostly unreactive.
They are not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents.
When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, they burn exothermically to produce carbon dioxide and water.
