Chemical Structure

Basic Info
2-tetradecone is an alkyl ketone compound. It occurs naturally in plants such as coconut oil, palm oil and mango. It has a coconut aroma, nutty and herbal flavor, and can be mixed with common organic solvents. 2-tetradecone can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as an additive in food processing and production. For example, it can be used in the processing and production of mushroom-flavored foods. In addition, it has been reported that the substance can induce HaTrf gene of cotton bollworm to regulate apoptosis, which is of great significance in the field of using functional genes to control pests.
2-tetradecone is an alkyl ketone compound. The ketocarbonyl unit in its structure is located in the second position of the long alkyl chain. It’s a methyl ketone derivative. The substance has the general physical and chemical properties of alkyl ketones. It can be reduced under the action of reducing agents such as sodium borohydride to obtain the corresponding alkyl alcohol derivatives. 2-tetradecones can also be condensed with organic amines to obtain corresponding imine derivatives. In the field of food processing, 2-triterpenoids are used as synthetic intermediates for flavors, especially in the production of shiitake mushroom flavor. Its long chain alkyl structure and ketone carbonyl group can effectively simulate natural aroma substances, giving food a mushroom-like aroma. Therefore, it has certain applications in the food and beverage industry.

Product Packaging
1. Insecticides and insect repellents
Natural insecticide: 2-Tridecanone is a natural defense component of plants such as tomatoes and wild tobacco. It has contact and repellent effects on aphids, mites, white flies and other insects, and is used in the development of low toxic biopesticides.
Acaricidal enhancer: When used in combination with synthetic pesticides such as pyrethroids, it can improve the penetration and efficacy of agricultural pest mites such as spider mites.
Pet repellent: Added to pet shampoo or spray as a natural repellent.
2. Nature of the industry
Fruit and milk flavors: Trace amounts of 2-Tridecanone can be used to make food flavors such as peach, coconut and dairy products to increase oil and fruit flavor.
Daily chemical fragrance: Used as a fixative in soaps and detergents to provide a mild fatty aroma.
3. Intermediates of organic synthesis
Preparation of long chain derivatives: reduction to 2-Tridecanone (used as lubricants) or oxidation to tetradecanoic acid (surfactant feedstock).
Pharmaceutical intermediates: As hydrophobic groups, they are involved in the synthesis of drug carriers or slow-release preparations (such as fat-soluble precursors of some anticancer drugs).
4. Materials science
Solvents and extractants: with good solubility in oils and resins, they can be used as environmentally friendly solvents for natural product extraction or polymer material processing.
Surface treatment agent: used as a metal anti-rust oil or coating additive to improve hydrophobicity and leveling.
5. Industrial lubricants and rust inhibitors
Synthetic lubricant additives: 2-Tridecanone can be used as an intermediate in synthetic ester lubricants for the preparation of high-performance lubricants (such as precision instrument oils and aviation hydraulic oils), with good thermal stability and low volatility.
Metalworking fluids: In cutting oils or anti-rust coatings, their hydrophobicity helps to isolate moisture and reduce metal oxidation.
6. Food packaging and preservation
Antibacterial coating materials: Studies have shown that 2-Tridecanone has an inhibitory effect on some foodborne fungi (such as Aspergillus) and bacteria, and can be incorporated into food packaging films (such as PLA biodegradable materials) to extend shelf life.
Post-harvest processing of fruits and vegetables: Use fumigation or spray methods to reduce mold during transportation (food additives must be strictly observed).
7. Cosmetics and personal care products
Skin feeling conditioner: Add a small amount of 2-Tridecanone to a lotion or cream to enhance the smooth texture and reduce the greasy feeling.
Hair care: As a substitute for silicone oil, it is used in hair conditioner to improve the combing effect while avoiding the accumulation problem of traditional silicone oil.
