Chemical Structure

Basic Info
d-Tetradecanolactone, chemically known as tetradecanolactone, is a cyclic ester compound containing 14 carbon atoms. The molecular formula of d-Tetradecanolactone is C14H26O2, which has a lactone ring with five members. Its oxygen atom occupies the fourth (d) position, and the rest of the chain is linear saturated hydrocarbon. Its unique chemical structure allows it to have a high melting point and low boiling point. This makes it liquid and colorless at room temperature. Delta-Tetradecalactone is known for its rich coconut, cream and fruity aroma, which makes it an important flavor ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products. It is also widely used as a flavoring additive in the food industry to mimic the aroma of fruits and nuts.
From a synthetic point of view, Delta-Tetradecalactone can be prepared by a variety of methods. One common method is the formation of a lactone by heating and dehydration. By selective oxidation, a specific olefin may be converted to lactone. In recent years, enzymatic synthesis has also received attention. This method uses biocatalysts such as lipase to catalyze the esterification reaction between alcohol and acid. This is an environmentally-friendly and highly selective route of production. The end goal, no matter what synthetic route is selected, is to produce a high-purity product that performs well for its intended application.
