δ-Decalactone (DDL) is a chemical compound, classified as a lactone, that naturally occurs in fruit [1] and milk products [2] in traces. It can be obtained from both chemical and biological sources. [3] [4] Chemically, it is produced from Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of delfone. [5] From biomass, it can be produced via the hydrogenation of 6-pentyl-α- pyrone. [6] DDL has applications in food, [7] polymer, [8] and agricultural [9] industries to formulate important products.
The S- enantiomer has a nutty odor with a fruity undertone. [10] The R-enantiomer is the main component of the warning stench of the North American porcupine. [11]
