What is 1-Tridecanol?

Description

1-Tridecanol is a lipid with a terminal hydroxyl group and a non-polar tail.

Chemical properties

WHITE LOW MELTING SOLID

The Uses of 1-Tridecanol

1-Tridecanol is a reagent that is used to synthesize tris(tridecyl) trimellitate (T886455).

What are the applications of Application

1-Tridecanol is a reagent useful in synthesis of tris(tridecyl) trimellitate (sc-475735)

Production Methods

Isotridecyl alcohol is produced by the oxo process in which dodecenes are reacted with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, followed by hydrogenation . A major isomer of a commercial-grade product is tetramethyl- 1-nonanol. Because of their low volatility, these alcohols are used to produce plasticizers, and they are also used as surfactant raw materials, as lubricant intermediates, and as solvents.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-Tridecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol.
