3-hydroxy Tridecanoicacid methyl ester is a hydroxylated fatty acid methyl ester and major fatty acid component of A. lipolytica and A. glycerini. It has been used in the synthesis of components of the female sex pheromone of the painted apple moth (T. anartoides).
1-Tridecanoyl-rac-glycerol, a monoacylglycerol featuring tridecanoicacid at the sn-1 position, serves as an internal standard for quantifying mono- and diacylglycerols in buttermilk.
1,2,3-Tritridecanoyl glycerol, a synthetic triacylglycerol featuring tridecanoicacid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions, serves as a standard for relative triacylglycerols quantification in C. elegans fat stores and as an internal standard in quantifying triacylglycerols in serum and liver of adult rat offspring exposed to dietary conjugated linoleic acids during and post-gestation.
