Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Gamma-Nonalactone contributes to an exotic, fruity-peach, milky and gourmet facet, in adequation with fruity notes in particular.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Gamma-Nonalactone is present in several foods and in the Eschweilera coriacea flower, from Central America. However, it is synthetic gamma-Nonalactone which is most often used in perfumery.
Isomerism :
Gamma-Nonalactone, like other lactones, has an asymmetric carbon. The smell of the two enantiomers of this molecule is similar. The racemic mixture is most often used in perfumery. Isoamyl Butyrate and Allyl Caproate are constitutional isomers of gamma-Nonalactone, but they have a very different butyric and cheesy smell.
Synthesis precursor :
Gamma-Nonalactone is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Gamma-Nonalactone is a cyclic lactone synthesized in the same way as other lactones. The reaction between acrylic acid and hexanol, in the presence of a sulfate or an alkaline phosphate, allows to synthesize this molecule. An intramolecular esterification of 4-hydroxynonanoic acid, catalysed by a strong acid such as concentrated sulfuric acid, also allows to obtain this compound. Finally, biochemical synthesis pathways are being studied by producing companies.
