δ-Octalactone

Description:

δ-Octalactone, also known as caprylic lactone, is a cyclic ester with the chemical formula C8H14O2. It is characterized by its pleasant, creamy, and coconut-like aroma, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industries. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low boiling point. δ-Octalactone is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It is produced through the cyclization of caprylic acid and can also be synthesized via various chemical reactions, including the esterification of fatty acids. In addition to its applications in food flavoring and perfumery, δ-Octalactone is also studied for its potential use in pharmaceuticals and as a biodegradable solvent. Its safety profile indicates low toxicity, but like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Overall, δ-Octalactone is valued for its sensory properties and versatility in various industrial applications.
