Dioxane, an organic compound, also known as dioxane, 1,4-dioxane, is an organic substance, the molecular formula is C4H8O2. It is a colorless and transparent liquid, slightly fragrant, miscible with water, miscible most organic solvents. The compound is used in the manufacture of special fine chemicals such as medicine, cosmetics, and fragrance, as well as as a solvent, reaction medium, and extraction agent in scientific research.
Tetrahydropyran is an organic compound consisting of a saturated six-membered ring containing five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Tetrahydropyrans are common structural motifs in natural products and synthetic therapeutic molecules. In nature, these six-membered oxygen heterocycles are usually assembled by intramolecular reactions, including oxygen Michael addition or ring opening of epoxy alcohols. In fact, polyether natural products have been particularly extensively studied for their fascinating structures and important biological properties; these are often formed through endoselective epoxy open cascades.
