Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Delta-Octalactone is used in lactonic-coconut, exotic and tropical fruity notes to bring a coconut facet. Used in the fruity flavors and gourmand notes of some fragrances.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Delta-Octalactone is present in the fragrant principle of several fruits such as peach, apricot or pineapple, as well as butter and some other daily products. Nevertheless, there is no production in its natural state.
Isomerism :
Delta-Octalactone is a positional isomer of cis-3-Hexenyl acetate. However, the two molecules are structurally and olfactively different. The asymmetric carbon of this lactone does not change the nature of the molecule produced: only a racemic mixture of the two enantiomers is used in perfumery.
Synthesis precursor :
Delta-Octalactone is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
As for any lactone, Delta-Octalactone is synthesized by the condensation of an acid and an alcohol, which cyclize together, in the presence of an alkaline phosphate or sulphate. Here, the concerned alcohol is butanol and the acid is but-3-enoic acid. The synthesis can also be done by an intra-esterification of 5-hydroxyoctanoic acid. Moreover, as for the synthesis of all lactones, biosynthetic pathways are being developed by the producing companies.
