2-Methyltridecane

2-Methyltridecane is an organic compound with chemical formula C14H30.

[3] Metallic lanthanum in tetrahydrofuran can reduce 2-iodo-2-methyltridecane into 2-methyltridecane.

In this reaction, the byproducts include 12,12,13,13-tetramethyltetracosane and some alkenes.

[4] Adding hydrogen to 13-bromo-2-methyldecan-2-ol can produce some 2-methyltridecane.

This reaction is catalyzed by Raney nickel.
