laktonach
Laktonach is a term that refers to a specific type of compound within organic chemistry. It is a cyclic ester, meaning it is formed from a hydroxy carboxylic acid where the hydroxyl group and the carboxylic acid group react internally to create a ring structure. This internal esterification process results in the formation of a lactone.
The size of the lactone ring can vary, with common ring sizes being five-membered (gamma-lactones) and six-membered
Lactones are found naturally in various sources and play important roles in biological systems. They are often
In synthetic chemistry, lactones are valuable intermediates and building blocks for the synthesis of more complex
