Uses
Other comments :
The smell of Gamma-Hexalactone is close to the one of Methyl Laitone® because of its fruity Coumarin note, reminiscent of coconut.
Stability :
Lactones tend to polymerize through time, making them more viscous and leading to a phase shift in alcohol.
Uses in perfumery :
Gamma-Hexalactone is used for a gourmet, sunny and milky tonality and to recreate an exoticism in fruity notes in particular.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Isomerism :
The asymmetric carbon of Gamma-Hexalactone is responsible for the presence of two enantiomers of this molecule. The (R) enantiomer of the molecule is greener than the other isomer, more woody.
Synthesis precursor :
Gamma-Hexalactone is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Natural availability :
Gamma-Hexalactone is present in several fruits. However, it is synthetic Gamma-Hexalactone which is more often used in perfumery.
Synthesis route :
Like some other lactones, Gamma-Hexalactone can be synthesized by an intramolecular esterification reaction, using 4-hydroxyhexanoic acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, for example, in a catalytic amount.
