colourless, low-melting solid with a maple syrup or brown sugar odour

7-isopropyl-4-methyloxepan-2-one is an epsilon-lactone that is oxepan-2-one which is substituted at positions 4 and 7 by methyl and isopropyl groups, respectively.

Catalyzed cyclization with 6-hydroxycitronellic acid in the presence of sodium acetate and acetic anhydride, then hydrogenated with calcium carbonate and Pd/H2 to obtain two isomers, which were then obtained by fractional distillation.

spices. Mainly used in baked goods and confectionery products.
