General Description

α-Hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone is a 5-membered cyclic ester. It was obtained via tin-conversion of biomass-derived 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and formaldehyde.

Purification Methods

It has been purified by repeated fractionation and forms a colourless liquid. It has to be distilled at high vacuum; otherwise it will dehydrate. The acetox
