trans-3-Methyl-4-octanolide, also called trans-β-methyl-γ-octalactone is a chemical compound of the lactone family with formula C
₉H
₁₆O
₂. It exists in two stereoisomers: (3R,4S) and (3S,4R).

The (3S,4R) form is found in whiskey and other alcoholic beverages that have been aged in oak barrels, together with the more important cis isomer.[1][2] It has a coconut, celery or fresh wood aroma, that can be detected by humans at the concentration of 20 μg/L in air.[3] A mixture of the cis and trans isomers is repellent for mosquitos and flies.[4]

The (3S,4R) isomer is extracted by the alcoholic beverage from some precursor substances in the oak wood.[5] It can be synthesized in various ways.[3][6][7]
