1-Tridecanol is a lipid with a terminal hydroxyl group and a non-polar tail.

WHITE LOW MELTING SOLID

1-Tridecanol is a reagent that is used to synthesize tris(tridecyl) trimellitate (T886455).

ChEBI: 1-Tridecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol.

Isotridecyl alcohol is produced by the oxo process in which dodecenes are reacted with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, followed by hydrogenation . A major isomer of a commercial-grade product is tetramethyl- 1-nonanol. Because of their low volatility, these alcohols are used to produce plasticizers, and they are also used as surfactant raw materials, as lubricant intermediates, and as solvents.
