Description

Ethyl Tridecanoate is a high-purity fatty acid ethyl ester, specifically the ethyl ester of tridecanoic acid. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in the synthesis of fine chemicals, flavors, and fragrances. It is particularly valued in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for its defined structure and consistent quality.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Ingredient: Used as a synthetic intermediate or a component in creating specific ester notes for perfumes and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a key starting material or protecting group reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Cosmetic Emollient: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent and carrier oil in personal care formulations like creams and lotions.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a standard or reagent in esterification studies and the production of more complex organic molecules.
• Lubricant and Plasticizer Precursor: Used in the research and development of specialty esters for industrial lubricants and polymer modification.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed as a certified reference material in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) for quality control and research.
