CAS 2721-22-4: δ-Tetradecalactone

Description: δ-Tetradecalactone, also known as 14-membered lactone, is a cyclic ester characterized by its unique structure and properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, creamy, and coconut-like odor, making it valuable in the fragrance and flavor industry. The compound is derived from the cyclization of fatty acids and is part of a larger class of lactones known for their sweet and fruity aromas. δ-Tetradecalactone is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its chemical formula reflects a molecular weight that corresponds to its long carbon chain, contributing to its distinctive sensory characteristics. In addition to its applications in perfumery and food flavoring, δ-Tetradecalactone may also exhibit potential biological activities, although further research is needed to fully understand its effects and applications in various fields. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation or adverse effects.
