4-Heptanolide(Cas 105-21-5) Usage

Description

y-Heptalactone has a sweet, nut-like, caramel odor and a malty, caramel, sweet, herbaceous taste. This substance may be obtained in low yields by hydrogenation of ethyl P-furylacrylate;1 by lactoniation of heptenoic acid; also by condensation of methylacrylate butyl alcohol using a catalyst.

Chemical Properties

γ-Heptalactone has a sweet, coconut-like, caramel and a malty, caramel, sweet odor, and herbaceous taste.
