| Common Name | 4-Propyl-gamma-butyrolactone |
|---|
| Description | Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone, also known as (+/-)-4-heptanolide or 5-propyl-tetrahydro-furan-2-one, 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, dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone is a sweet, caramel, and coconut tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone has been detected, but not quantified in, asparagus and peachs. This could make dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-Propyl-gamma-butyrolactone is found in Bupleurum chinense, Fusarium poae, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Mangifera indica and Polygala senega. Dihydro-5-propyl-2(3H)-furanone is a potentially toxic compound. |
