Definition: Cyclic esters of hydroxy carboxylic acids, containing a 1-oxacycloalkan-2-one structure. Large cyclic lactones of over a dozen atoms are MACROLIDES.  pyran-2-ones: index PYRONES + LACTONES but BENZOPYRAN-2-ONES is available; for cyclic lactones over 12 atoms consider MACROLIDES   
Examples 4-Butyrolactone; Acetogenins; Acyl-Butyrolactones; Dehydroascorbic Acid; Macrolides; Picrotoxin; Polyketides; Propiolactone; Spironolactone; Venturicidins; Zearalenone
