Tridecanoic acid, 3-oxo-, methyl ester

Description:
Tridecanoic acid, 3-oxo-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 87900-05-8, is an ester derived from tridecanoic acid and possesses a ketone functional group at the third carbon position. This compound typically features a long hydrophobic carbon chain, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. The presence of the methyl ester group enhances its volatility and reactivity compared to the parent acid. Tridecanoic acid itself is a medium-chain fatty acid, and the ketone functionality can influence its biological activity and potential applications in various fields, including food chemistry, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The compound may exhibit characteristics such as moderate melting and boiling points, depending on its molecular structure and purity. Additionally, it may participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
