Description
gamma-Hexalactone has a warm, powerful, herbaceous, sweet
odor and a sweet, coumarin-caramel taste. May be prepared by
reduction of sorbic acid using Zn, Sn, or SnCl2 and concentrated
HCL in acetic acid solution at 85°C; from ethylene oxide and
sodio-malonic ester; also from propyl alcohol and methylacrylate
in the presence of di-tert-butyl peroxide.

Uses
4-Hexanolide was used as curing agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with ytterbium triflate as an initiator. γ-Hexalactone may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in wine, fruits, biological samples, meat products, and e-cigarette refill solutions by various chromatography techniques. γ-Caprolactone was used as curing agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with ytterbium triflate as an initiator.
