Introduction:

Gamma-butyrolactone is commonly called GBL. The compound has many nicknames, such as Industrial Solvent, Dihydroxybutyric Acid Anhydride, and GBL Dissolved in Water.

It is prepared by mixing a stoichiometric amount of sodium hydroxide with gamma-butyrolactone in methanol. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for some time, and then the sodium hydroxide is filtered off. The filtrate obtained upon evaporation of the solvent provides pure Gamma-butyrolactone.

It is the most common of the three isomeric butanol lactones. It is a colourless fluid with a pleasant odour. It is miscible in water, alcohols, ethers, and esters. It has narcotic properties and is slightly toxic.

As a hydrolysis product of gamma-butyrolactone, 1,4-butanediol is used in the manufacture of polyurethane polymers.

Applications:

Gamma-butyrolactone is widely used as a fragrance and pharmaceutical intermediate. It is safe to use as a high boiling point solvent because of its strong solubility, good electrical properties, and stability.

It can dissolve most low molecular polymers and some high molecular polymers as a solvent.

It can be used as a carrier in the polymerization reaction and participate in the polymerization reaction. It can be used in pyrrolidone, butyric acid, etc. It is also used as a solvent for drugs like chlorhexidine gluconate.

It's used on windows and mirrors to clean them because it doesn't leave streaks or spots. And if you spill something on the floor that won't come off quickly, it will dissolve the stain so you can wipe it up.
