372: 624: 56:, the intramolecular esterification of the corresponding hydroxycarboxylic acids, which takes place spontaneously when the ring that is formed is five- or six-membered. Lactones with three- or four-membered rings (α-lactones and β-lactones) are very reactive, making their isolation difficult. Special methods are normally required for the laboratory synthesis of small-ring lactones as well as those that contain rings larger than six-membered. 768: 532: 175: 118: 570: 206: 152: 241: 1187:(It's desirable for this group of compounds — whose simplest representative until now has been the substance that's described in the preceding — to have a general designation, and since the name "lactide" isn't applicable because then the archetypal lactide would not be a lactide, we therefore suggest the name "lactone" as the designation of this group .) 1185:"Es ist wünschenswerth, für diese Gruppe von Verbindungen, deren bis jetzt einfachster Repräsentant der im Vorstehenden beschriebene Körper ist, eine allgemeine Bezeichnungsweise zu haben, und da der Name "Lactide" nicht anwendbar ist, weil dann das Lactid κατ εξοχην kein Lactid sein wurde, so schlagen wir als Gruppenbezeichnung den Namen "Lactone" vor". 273:

320:, lactones are named as heterocyclic pseudoketones by adding the suffix 'one', 'dione', 'thione', etc. and the appropriate multiplicative prefixes to the name of the heterocyclic parent hydride. 831:. Replacement of a methylene unit by oxygen barely affects the odor of these compounds, and oxalactones with 15 – 17-membered rings are produced in addition to cyclopentadecanolide (e. g., 784:
