Application
δ-Valerolactone (tetrahydro-2H-2-pyranone or δ VL) can be used as a monomer unit in the synthesis of poly(δ-valerolactone)s poly(conjugated ester)s via ring-opening polymerization.
It can also be used as a starting material in the synthesis of (+)-guadinomic acid , sodium δ-hydroxyvalerate , methyl δ-hydroxyvalerate , and 5-hydroxyvaleraldehyde.
