Question: Moms new boyfriend was busted with Gamma-Butyrolactone..What is it? I posted a question 3 mos. ago related to my senior Moms new boyfriend that we were less than pleased about. I took a lot of crap about interfering with "her happiness". I had suspicions about this man and did a background check and now I just found out that he was busted in California for possession of Gamma-Butyrolactone. I am waiting for the file on this case to find out the details. Is Gamma-Butyrolactone a date rape drug??? He was arrested and entered into a diversion program (Dont know what that is, never been arrested). When I get the file from California, I hope to find details Also any ideas on how to break the news to Mom? She is going to be so mad at me for not only the background check but I hired a private investigator. She is head over heels in love and I think this guy somehow going to blame me when he finds out what all I know about him. He is a sweetheart scammer.

Answer: Yeah, I am afraid so. Also known as GHB, not necessarily JUST a date rape drug, but can be used for that. http://www.projectghb.org/what_is_ghb.ht… Not the person I would want my mother dating. I have to ask though, you say he was arrested, was he convicted? What was the dispositon of the case? Or is this the content of the file you are waiting for?

Question: Will I get in trouble by ordering GBL as a wheel cleaner? I have been detailing cars for about 10 years and I found that nothing works better than cleaners containing the product Gamma Butyrolactone, or GBL I had a 10 gallon container that just ran out.. I did some research on why I can't find this in stores and apparently, this drug can be made into GHB and thus cannot be imported to the United States. I found a website that can ship this wheel cleaner to me http://www.gblwheelcleaner.com/gblwheelc… Can this chemical be imported from Thailand., without being sent to jail, as long as I use it for wheel cleaning (which is the only way I will be using it)? Can I go to a local chemical shop in the US and ask them for it, while stating that I will be only using this for cleaning purposes?

Answer: Instead try ammonia and baking soda and vinegar into a gallon container. Use about 2 cups of each and rest water. Grease comes off like a charm. Rinse and wipe dry. The wheels will look new again. Probably cheaper too. You can make as much as you need without being illegal too.

Question: Grignard Organic 2 Question, 10 points for any help? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co… This is a lactone... gamma butyrolactone to be exact. I need to write a mechanist of this reacting with Grignard 1. BrMg (CH2)3 MrBr 2. H+, H2O to form cyclopentanol with CH3CH2CH2OH attached to the same carbon as OH... I'm not sure of the exact name but it's 5 carbon ring with OH group and CH3CH2CH2OH group at the same carbon. Here is the thing. I know how to do the mechanist of the same reaction on regular ester. My problem is that the starting material is cyclic and I get stuck. HELP!!! A mechanism online? or explain please? hints? anything? Does the lactone ring open? and where does the O that is initially in the ring go? Thanks!! I meant 1. BrMg (CH2)3 MgBr 2. H+, H2O I made a mistake, it should have been BrMg (CH2)4 MgBr. I figured out the mechanism! Dr OChem is THE MAN =)

Answer: Let's start with a hint. If you know the mechanism, then replace the joining CH2 with an R-group and write the mechanism. When you are through, replace the R-groups with the CH2 and what do you get?
