13diketone
A 13-diketone is a member of the diketone family that contains thirteen carbon atoms in its main carbon framework and two carbonyl groups (C=O). The term describes a class rather than a single compound, so many structural isomers are possible. In systematic naming, such compounds may be referred to as tridecanediones, with the positions of the carbonyl groups indicated by locants (for example, 2,12-tridecanedione), or described as 1,3- or other arrangements within a thirteen-carbon skeleton.
Structural diversity is common within 13-diketones. They may be linear, branched, or cyclic, and the two carbonyls
Reactivity and synthesis are influenced by the presence of two carbonyl groups. Like other diketones, 13-diketones
Physical properties depend on the exact structure but commonly include limited water solubility and relatively high
