General description

Ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate is an ethyl ester. Its concentration in bordeaux red wines has been evaluated. Two-step preparation of ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate via hydrolysis of e-caprolactone has been reported.

Application

Ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate is suitable for use in the synthesis of series of model phenol carbonate ester prodrugs having fatty acid-like structures. It may be used in the preparation of alkyl triflates. It may be used in the synthesis of ethyl 6-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)hexanoate.
