Methyl 13-hydroxytridecanoate is an ester derived from tridecanoic acid and methanol, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 13th carbon position of the fatty acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Methyl 13-hydroxytridecanoate may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the formulation of surfactants, or in the production of biodiesel. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and density, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many fatty acid derivatives, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in fields such as biochemistry and pharmacology.
