Like related long chain alcohols, tridecanol is sometimes classified as a fatty alcohol because they were once obtained by hydrogenation of fats.^[2] Most fatty alcohols, however, have even numbers of carbons. 1-Tridecanol can be obtained by hydrogenation of tridecanal. 1-Tridecanol is used as a lubricant and for the manufacture of surfactants and plasticizers.
