108-29-2 Description

γ-Valerolactone (Item No. 28240) is an analytical reference standard categorized as a prodrug form of γ-hydroxyvaleric acid (GHV; ). This product is intended for research and forensic applications.

 

108-29-2 Uses

γ-valerolactone?(GVL) can be used as a green solvent:

  1. To transform lignocellulose into furfural using a solid acid catalyst, H-mordenite.
  2. To synthesize phosphatidylserine.
  3. γ-Valerolactone is a naturally occurring chemical found in fruits and is frequently used as a food additive. It can be converted to liquid alkenes which can be used as transportation fuels. γ-Valerolactone is widely used in dye baths (coupling agent), brake fluids, cutting oils, and as solvent for adhesives, insecticides, and lacquers.
