INFO
Dioxane, C4H8O2
Dioxane (C4H8O2) is a clear, colorless organic solvent with a faint pleasant odor. It is used in a variety of industrial and scientific applications due to its miscibility with both water and many organic solvents. Dioxane is commonly used as a solvent for cellulose, resins, oils, and fats. In laboratories, it's often employed in organic synthesis and as a solvent in spectroscopic studies. It is also utilized in the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals. However, dioxane is classified as a potential human carcinogen and its use and disposal are subject to strict regulations in many countries. As such, many industries and laboratories are seeking safer alternatives.Isomers
