Butyrolactone I

Description:
Butyrolactone I, also known as gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), is a cyclic ester with the chemical formula C4H6O2. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is hygroscopic and has a slightly sweet taste. GBL is a solvent and is miscible with water, alcohols, and many organic solvents, making it useful in various industrial applications, including as a solvent for polymers and resins. It is also utilized in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. GBL is known for its ability to act as a precursor to gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a substance with both therapeutic and recreational uses. However, it is important to note that GBL can pose health risks, including potential for abuse and toxicity, leading to regulatory scrutiny in many regions. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can cause central nervous system depression and other adverse effects.
