Dilactone

/daɪˈlæktəʊn/ noun

Definition

A chemical compound containing two lactone rings (five- or six-membered rings with a carbon-oxygen double bond).

Etymology

From di- (two) + lactone (a cyclic ester formed from hydroxy acids). Lactone derives from lactic acid. The term developed in organic chemistry to name compounds with dual ring structures.

Kelly Says

Dilactones appear in some natural antibiotics and pharmaceutical compounds—their dual-ring structure makes them particularly stable and useful for fighting infections or treating diseases.
