Metabolite Identification
Common NameGamma-Caprolactone
DescriptionGamma-Caprolactone, also known as 4-hydroxy-hexanoate or 4-ethyl-4-butanolide, 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, Gamma-caprolactone is considered to be a fatty ester. Gamma-Caprolactone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Gamma-Caprolactone.
