Tridecanal
Tridecanal is a long-chain fatty aldehyde that is tridecane in which two hydrogens attached to a terminal carbon are replaced by an oxo group. It has a role as a volatile oil component and a human metabolite. It is a n-alkanal, a saturated fatty aldehyde and a long-chain fatty aldehyde. It derives from a hydride of a tridecane. — ChEBI
