Rotational Spectrum and Search for Lactonitrile toward Sgr B2(N)

Laboratory experiments on interstellar ice analogs have demonstrated that ice mixtures containing acetaldehyde (CH _3 CHO) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the presence of ammonia (NH _3 ), water (H _2 O), or an NH _3 /H _2 O mixture allow the formation of the chiral molecule lactonitrile (2-hydroxypro...
