7-TRIDECANONE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

7-Tridecanone is a white solid, Leafy crystals or colorless crystalline mass. Sp.Gr. (liquid) 0.82. B.P. 264° C. M.P. 33° C. Insoluble in water and Ropylene glycol, soluble in alcohol and oils. Peculiar, wartn-herbaceous-floral odor with a woody undertone. The odor has sometimes been compared to that of the “Strawberrytree” (Mediterranean Arbutus), at other times it seems that the observer has great difficulties in describing the odor in common terms.

Uses

Finds but a little use in perfume compositions. It acts as a fixative - modifier with Coumarin, Benzophenone, Acetanisole etc. in New Mown Hay, Fougere, and other fragrance types.

Uses

7-Tridecanone is an isomer of 2-Tridecanone which is a flavor component of many food products. 7-Tridecanone, however, is much less distributed. It is also used to study the toxicity of narcotic industrial chemicals.

Preparation

From Hexyl magnesium chloride and Heptyl nitrile (Hexyl cyanide).

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by intravenousroute. A flammable liquid. When heated to decompositionit emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the ketone from EtOH. [Beilstein 1 H 715.]
