Acids, Esters & Lactones

Carboxylic acids, their esters and the lactones. Acids are activated in situ for amidation or esterification and are the form that stores best; esters are the protected form and also serve as enolate equivalents in Claisen chemistry. The lactones in this group are ring-closed hydroxy acids, bought as fragrance materials and as monomers for ring-opening polymerisation. Chain lengths run from C5 to C16.

Acids, Esters & Lactones outside the catalogue

If the compound you need is not in this group but belongs to it chemically, send the structure. Most of what we make is not on the site: the catalogue is the part that is already characterised and packed.

A route review costs nothing and usually comes back within two working days with the step count and the likely purification burden.
