Description:2-Tridecanone is a ketone with the molecular formula C13H26O, characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the second carbon of a tridecane chain. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive odor, often described as fruity or waxy. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Tridecanone is primarily used in the fragrance industry and as a flavoring agent, as well as in various applications in organic synthesis. Its chemical properties include a relatively high boiling point compared to smaller ketones, reflecting its larger hydrocarbon chain. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions typical of ketones, such as oxidation and reduction, making it a versatile compound in organic chemistry. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.
