Natural Product Identification
Common NameTrimethyltridecanoic acid
DescriptionTrimethyltridecanoic acid, also known as 4,8,12-tri-me 13:0 Or 4,8,12-TMTD, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Trimethyltridecanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Trimethyltridecanoic acid was first documented in 1968 (PMID: 5656833). A methyl-branched fatty acid consisting of tridecanoic acid having methyl substituents at positions 4, 8 and 12.
