General Description Clear colorless oily liquid with a pleasant odor.
Air & Water Reactions Hygroscopic. Soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile gamma-Butyrolactone can react with oxidizing materials, inorganic acids and bases, alcohols and amines. Rapidly hydrolyzed by bases and slowly hydrolyzed by acids. gamma-Butyrolactone is volatile with steam. . The combination of the lactone, butanol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and sodium hydroxide in the attempted synthesis of 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric acid caused a thermal runaway reaction that eventually exploded, [CISHC Chem. Safety Summ., 1977, 48, 3].
Fire Hazard gamma-Butyrolactone is combustible.
Water Solubility MISCIBLE
Merck 13,1596
Stability: Stable. Hygroscopic. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases, strong reducing agents.
