The tetronic is a chemical substance from the group of γ- lactone . It results from the lactonization of 4-hydroxyacetoacetic acid . Technically, tetronic acid is obtained from ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate . It occurs in several tautomeric forms.

Keto-enol tautomerism of tetronic acid

Many natural substances, such as B. ascorbic acid or penicillanic acid have the β-keto-γ-butyrolactone structural motif of tetronic acid. Tetronic acid can be viewed as an oxygen analogue of tetramic acid , which also shows keto-enol tautomerism .
