Tridecane or n-tridecane is an alkane with the chemical formula CH₃(CH₂)₁₁CH₃. Tridecane is a combustible colourless liquid. In industry, they have no specific value aside from being components of various fuels and solvents. In the research laboratory, tridecane is also used as a distillation chaser.
