Summary γ-Valerolactone, often abbreviated as GVL, represents an organic compound characterized by the chemical formula C5H8O2. This clear, colourless liquid ranks among the more prevalent lactones. Although GVL possesses chirality, it is commonly employed in its racemic form. It can be readily derived from cellulosic biomass and holds promise as both a potential fuel source …
Summary Gamma-hydroxyvaleric acid (GHV), also referred to as 4-methyl-GHB, is a synthetic substance classified as a designer drug closely related to gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). Occasionally, it appears on the grey market as a legal substitute for GHB. However, it is characterized by lower potency and increased toxicity compared to GHB, factors that have, in practice, …
Summary Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), also known as γ-butyrolactone, is a colourless liquid that readily absorbs moisture from the air and has a faint, distinct odour. This compound represents the simplest form of a four-carbon lactone. Its primary application lies in serving as an intermediate compound for the synthesis of various other chemicals, including methyl-2-pyrrolidone.In the context …
