Description

Tridecane,7-Methyl- CAS NO 26730-14-3 is a branched-chain alkane, specifically a methyl-substituted tridecane isomer. This high-purity hydrocarbon is valued for its role as a precise chemical intermediate and a reliable standard in analytical chemistry. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and research laboratories in the fragrance, specialty chemical, and petrochemical sectors for its defined structure and consistent performance.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a building block or a reference standard in the synthesis and analysis of complex aromatic compounds.
• Gas Chromatography (GC) Standard: Used as a high-purity reference material for instrument calibration, method development, and retention index studies due to its well-defined boiling point.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or starting material in the production of more complex specialty chemicals, surfactants, and lubricant additives.
• Petrochemical Research: Employed in studies related to fuel composition, hydrocarbon cracking processes, and the characterization of complex hydrocarbon mixtures.
• Solvent and Carrier Fluid: Can function as an inert, high-boiling-point solvent for specific reactions or formulations requiring a non-polar medium.
• Material Science: Used in the development and testing of polymers, coatings, and other materials where defined hydrocarbon properties are critical.
