Gamma-butyrolactone (4-Butyrolactone, Butyrylactone, Butyryl lactone, 4-Butanolide, 1,2-Butanolide, 1,4-Butanolide, 2-Oxolanone, gamma-BL, 4-Deoxytetronic acid, Butyric acid lactone) is a lactone with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₂ and molecular weight of 86.08. Gamma-butyrolactone exists as a colorless oily liquid with a pleasant, faint odor. The boiling point of the lactone is 204 В°C at 760 mm Hg. The product is miscible with water, alcohols, ketones, ethers and aromatic hydrocarbons. Gamma-butyrolactone dissolves in acetone, benzene, diethyl ether, and ethanol.

Gamma-butyrolactone can be produced from gamma-hydroxybutyric acid by removal of water or by distillation from such a mixture. It also may be obtained by oxidation of tetrahydrofuran (THF). Besides, gamma-butyrolactone can be produced via hydrogenating maleic anhydride and by the Reppe process.

Gamma-butyrolactone possesses a great many industrial as well as commercial uses. Gamma-butyrolactone is utilized in the production of herbicides, and in the processing of the vitamins in the pharmaceutical industry. One other use of the product is an intermediate in the manufacturing of pyrrolidones. Furthermore, gamma-butyrolactone is widely utilized as a solvent in pesticides, photochemical etching, electrolytes of small batteries or capacitors, viscosity modifiers in polyurethanes, surface etching of metal coated plastics, organic paint disbursements for water soluble inks, pH regulators in the dyeing of wool and polyamide fibers, foundry chemistry as a catalyst during curing, and in curing agents in many coating systems based on urethanes and amides. Gamma-butyrolactone is very useful as a solvent in the petroleum industry. Moreover, the product is effective as a solvent for polyacrylonitrile, as a surface treatment and as an intermediate for dyes in the textile industry.

Gamma-butyrolactone may cause acute eye irritation. High inhaled or swallowed doses of the product may entail behavioral changes, increased activity, shaking, tremors, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting and possibly loss of concentration, with collapse. Cases of over-exposure may cause coma and even death.
