2-Acetylbutyrolactone (ABL) is a derivative of γ-butyrolactone that is used as a precursor in organic synthesis, and it is used to identify primary amines through chemical fluorescence.[2]

Preparation

[edit]

2-Acetylbutyrolactone can be prepared by a condensation reaction between an ester of acetic acid (such as ethyl acetate) with butyrolactone in an alkaline solution.[5]

2-Acetylbutyrolactone can also be prepared by reacting ethylene oxide with ethyl acetoacetate in alkaline conditions.[citation needed]

Uses

[edit]

Spectrofluorimetry

[edit]

2-Acetylbutyrolactone itself is only slightly fluorescent, but its derivatives show high UV fluorescence.[3][6] The carbonyl group readily reacts with amines to form Schiff bases. It is for this reason that 2-acetylbutyrolactone is frequently used to confirm the creation of amines during organic synthesis.[3] 2-Acetylbutyrolactone can also undergo a Japp–Klingemann reaction to form fluorescent molecules with arylamines.[6]
