Flavouring Substances Chemical Group 9 - Primary aliphatic saturated or unsaturated alcohols/aldehydes/acids/acetals/esters with a second primary, secondary or tertiary oxygenated functional group including aliphatic lactones.

Local
Lactone is an internal cyclic monoester (anhydride) derived from the hydroxyl and carboxyl radicals of gamma or delta hydroxy acids by the removal of a H2O between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl group in the same molecule; gamma-hydroxybutyric acid forms gamma-butyrolactone and delta-hydroxydecanoic acid forms delta-decalactone spontaneously. In result, prefixes describe the ring size: beta- is for 4-membered ring), gamma- , 5-membered, and delta-, 6-membered ring. Lactone moiety is important in the field of perfumery, vitamins, and and the antibiotics. Lactone undergoes the reactions of hydrolysis, reduction, aminolysis, michael reaction.
