Tridecanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Description

Tridecanoic acid , or tridecylic acid, is a 13-carbon saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)11COOH. It is commonly found in dairy products. It is also found in some plants, such as nutmeg, muskmelon, black elderberry, and coconut.

Chemical Properties

off-white or white crystalline solid; waxy, woody aroma.

Occurrence

Reported found in star fruit oil Cuba (0.30%) and rue oil Cuba (0.07%).

Uses

Tridecanoic acid is a metabolite found in the aging mouse brain. It can be used in organic synthesis which is used to synthesize Testosterone Tridecanoate. It can also be used in wastewater treatment as a glycol ester and to reduce the presence of organic molecules such as caproic acid, alkanoic acid, and multivariate logistic regression.

Application

Tridecanoic acid has been used as an internal standard for the lipid analysis of total intramuscular fat from broilers and fatty acid analysis in chinook salmon roe lipids. It has also been used as a reference standard in gas chromatography for quantifying fatty acids in meat samples.

Definition

ChEBI: Tridecanoic acid is a C13 straight-chain saturated fatty acid. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a long-chain fatty acid and a straight-chain saturated fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a tridecanoate.

Aroma threshold values

Medium strength odor, waxy type.

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 35, p. 2846, 1970 DOI: 10.1021/jo00833a096

General Description

Tridecanoic acid is an aliphatic monoacid. It is complexed to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) for structural studies. It can exist in three polymeric forms(A′, B′ and C′) when crystallized.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from acetone. [Beilstein 2 IV 1117.]
