  • Applications

    2-Methyltridecanal is a long-chain aliphatic aldehyde commonly used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery, contributing woody-to-floral notes and acting as a fixative in formulated scents. It is also employed in cosmetics and personal care products as a fragrance component to impart lasting aroma. In household products, it can serve as an odor-active additive in air fresheners, detergents, and cleaners. In the flavor and fragrance sector, it may be used as a flavor/aroma ingredient or as an intermediate for the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules. In industrial manufacturing, it is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis for fragrance-related compounds, subject to formulation requirements and local regulations.
