CAS 695-06-7: γ-Hexalactone

Description: γ-Hexalactone, also known as caproic lactone, is a cyclic ester with the chemical formula C6H10O2. It is characterized by its pleasant, creamy, and coconut-like odor, making it a compound of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. This lactone is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. γ-Hexalactone is produced through the cyclization of caproic acid and can also be synthesized via the reaction of hexanoic acid with various catalysts. It is used not only as a flavoring agent but also in the production of various polymers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, which contributes to its safety profile in food applications. Its unique properties and versatility make γ-Hexalactone a valuable compound in both industrial and culinary contexts.
