Descriptiongamma-Butyrolactone, also known as 1,4-butanolide or 4-hydroxy-butanoate, 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-butyrolactone is considered to be a fatty ester. gamma-Butyrolactone exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on gamma-Butyrolactone.
