Also known as hexano-6-lactone, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid lactone, hexanoic acid, epsilon-lactone, hexan-6-olide, 2-oxohexamethylene oxide, 1,6-hexanolide, 6-hexanolactone, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, epsilon-lactone

ε-Caprolactone or simply caprolactone is a lactone (a cyclic ester) possessing a seven-membered ring. Its name is derived from caproic acid. This colorless liquid is miscible with most organic solvents and water. It was once produced on a large scale as a precursor to caprolactam.
