Description

Phenol, 3-Tridecyl- CAS NO 72424-02-3 is a synthetic alkylphenol derivative characterized by a long tridecyl chain attached to the phenolic ring. This molecular structure imparts unique properties, such as enhanced lipophilicity and surfactant-like behavior, making it a valuable intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and agrochemical industries for producing antioxidants, stabilizers, and functional additives.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of phenolic antioxidants and light stabilizers for plastics and elastomers.
• Lubricant & Fuel Industry: Used to manufacture detergents and dispersant additives that prevent sludge and varnish formation in engine oils and industrial lubricants.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block for synthesizing certain pesticides and herbicide components.
• Surfactant Production: Employed in the creation of nonionic surfactants for industrial and cleaning formulations due to its alkyl chain length.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a versatile alkylated phenol precursor in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals.
