Infobox references

Tridecane may refer to any alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₁₃H₂₈, or to a mixture of them. There are 802 constitutional isomers with that formula.^[1] In the IUPAC nomenclature, the name refers exclusively to one isomer, the straight-chain H₃C(CH₂)₁₁CH₃, also called normal or n-tridecane; the other isomers are named as derivatives of lighter hydrocarbons, as in paraffin products, in the paper processing industry, in jet fuel research and in the rubber industry.

In chemical research, n-tridecane is used as a solvent and distillation chaser.

Nymphs of the southern green stink bug produce n-tridecane as a dispersion/aggregation pheromone which possibly serves also as a defense against predators.^[2] It is also the main component of the defensive fluid produced by the stink bug Cosmopepla bimaculata.^[3]
