3,6-Dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane(CAS: 285-69-8)

3,6-Dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (CAS: 285-69-8) is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of 88.08 g/mol. It has a high solubility in organic solvents but is only slightly soluble in water. Chemically, it is relatively stable but can undergo ring-opening reactions under basic conditions. It is miscible with ethanol and acetone.

3,6-Dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is usually synthesized via the ring-opening reaction of 1,3-dioxane with a basic catalyst such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This method yields high purity and is commonly used in organic synthesis.

3,6-Dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (CAS: 285-69-8) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry to synthesize certain drugs, and also in the polymer industry for the production of specific plastics and resins. It is also used in the production of organic electronic materials and in sensors due to its unique chemical structure.

3,6-Dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane should be handled in a well-ventilated area, preferably with a fume hood. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles. In case of a spill, immediately clean it up according to the SDS (Safety Data Sheet).
