Chemical Information
FooDB Name4-Methyl-gamma-butyrolactone
DescriptionDihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone, also known as 4-valerolactone or 4-hydroxypentanoic acid lactone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, dihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone is considered to be a fatty ester. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Dihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone.
