1,4-dioxane
Description
1,4-Dioxane (CAS 123-91-1 ) is a cyclic ether solvent used across chemical manufacturing, laboratory research, and industrial processing. It functions as a high-solvency carrier for resins and cellulose derivatives. This versatile compound is effective for a broad range of organic compounds where other solvents underperform. In pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis, it serves as a reaction solvent and extraction medium. It is particularly useful in processes requiring miscibility with both water and organic phases. Personal care manufacturers monitor it as a trace contaminant in ethoxylated ingredients for safety. The chemical acts as a reference standard for quality control and regulatory compliance testing. In laboratory settings, it is used as a scintillation solvent and as a stabilizer carrier. It is also utilized in analytical-grade preparations for various research applications. Food and fragrance applications involve its use as a trace flavoring reference compound for testing. Despite these niche uses, its primary commercial demand remains in industrial solvent and synthesis roles. The product is supplied as a colorless liquid in drums and bulk containers. Standard grades include technical, reagent, and HPLC-grade, with anhydrous specifications available. These are ideal for moisture-sensitive synthesis applications in controlled environments. Stabilized and unstabilized variants are both commercially available for purchase. Grade selection is typically driven by specific end-use process requirements and stability needs.
