A solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?
γ-Butyrolactone (C4H6O2, GBL) is a biologically inactive compound that is converted to the biologically active recreational drug GHB (Section 19.5) by a lactonase enzyme in the body. Since γ-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. γ-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm−1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of γ-butyrolactone?
