Description

Tridecanal CAS NO 10486-19-8 is a saturated long-chain aliphatic aldehyde, specifically the C13 homologue, valued for its role as a key fragrance ingredient and versatile chemical intermediate. Its unique fatty, waxy, and slightly citrus-like odor profile makes it essential for creating sophisticated and long-lasting scent compositions. This compound is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F) industry, as well as by chemical synthesis specialists for producing alcohols, acids, and other derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A core building block in perfumery for imparting fatty, waxy, and clean citrus nuances in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic products.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used in trace amounts to create or modify flavor profiles, contributing to fatty, creamy, or citrus notes in food and beverage applications.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate in organic synthesis for the production of tridecanol (via reduction) and tridecanoic acid (via oxidation).
• Surfactant & Lubricant Precursor: Used in the manufacture of specialty surfactants, emulsifiers, and synthetic lubricants where a C13 chain length is required.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D laboratories as a standard or reagent in various chemical studies.
