Description and Uses
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.
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.
