The substance - full name gamma
butyrolactone is closely related to the banned gammahydroxybutrate (GHB) drug.
The 2-aminobenzylamine reacts with
butyrolactone which involves forming intermediate compound and further condensed with benzaldehyde to give 3-(2-chlorobenzylidene)-1,2,3,9-tetrahydropyrrolo-2quinazoline (see Scheme 19).
New furofuran and
butyrolactone lignans with antioxidant activity from the stem bark of Styrax japonica.
In one example, a 38wt% polyvinylidene fluoride solution in a mixture of gamma
butyrolactone and diethylene glycol was extruded at 190[degrees]C into a 12[degrees]C bath of 80-wt% aqueous gamma
butyrolactone, resulting in a hollow fiber membrane.
Illegal GHB and its precursors, GBL (gamma
butyrolactone) and 1,4-BD (1,4-butanediol), can be obtained over the Internet and sometimes are marketed as solvents such as ink jet printer fluid or as GHB alternatives in health food stores, gyms, raves, and nightclubs.
He died as a result of addiction to GBL (Gamma
Butyrolactone), a compound found in industrial cleaners and widely used by clubbers.

He allegedly sent the GBL (gamma
butyrolactone) in five or 10-litre amounts to co-accused Jamie Greiman at addresses in California, New York and New Jersey.
The drug GHB is broken down in the body into Gamma
Butyrolactone and can induce symptoms including euphoria, confusion and unconsciousness.
The investigation led to a search warrant at Norland's home at 130 F St., where police found several bottles of liquid GHB and a precursor, gamma
butyrolactone (GBL), which is easily converted to GHB, according to court records.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how tests later detected Gamma
Butyrolactone, known as GHB, in her blood.
(1995) found that DH drying of red oak produced identifiable amounts of
butyrolactone, butanoic acid, 2-chloro-butanoic acid, and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate in kiln condensate samples.
