Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameTridecane
DescriptionTridecane, also known as tridekan, is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)11CH3. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and consist entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Tridecane has 802 constitutional isomers. Tridecane is a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Tridecane is a light, combustible colourless liquid and a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. It is a volatile oil component, and has been found in some plants, such as cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ), Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench. and Abelmoschus moschatus Medik (PMID: 23768323 ), and Bidens pilosa var. radiate (PMID: 24010324 ). Tridecane is also found in cannabis smoke and is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ). It is used in the manufacture of paraffin products, the paper processing industry, in jet fuel research and in the rubber industry; furthermore, tridecane is used as a solvent and distillation chaser. Tridecane is also one of the major chemicals secreted by some insects as a defense against predators. For example, the secretions of the earwig larvae Forficula Auricularia, which contained tridecane, inhibited the feeding of ant species Myrmica rubra (PMID: 24879968 ).
