Description and Uses

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.

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.
