Methyl tridecanoate

Description:
Methyl tridecanoate is an ester derived from tridecanoic acid and methanol, characterized by its long carbon chain structure. It has a molecular formula of C14H28O2, indicating it contains 14 carbon atoms, 28 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor, which is common among fatty acid esters. Methyl tridecanoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain. It is primarily used in the production of surfactants, flavoring agents, and fragrances, as well as in various industrial applications. The compound is also of interest in the study of lipid metabolism and can serve as a model for understanding the behavior of long-chain fatty acids in biological systems. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause mild irritation upon contact, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. Proper handling and storage are recommended to ensure safety and stability.
