Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Hazard]
A skin irritant. | [Description]
y-Heptalactone has a sweet, nut-like, caramel odor and a malty,
caramel, sweet, herbaceous taste. This substance may be obtained
in low yields by hydrogenation of ethyl P-furylacrylate;1 by lactoniation of heptenoic acid; also by condensation of methylacrylate
butyl alcohol using a catalyst. | [Chemical Properties]
