1,3-Dioxan-5-ol

Description:

1,3-Dioxan-5-ol, with the CAS number 4740-78-7, is a cyclic organic compound characterized by a dioxane ring structure that includes a hydroxyl (-OH) group. This compound features a six-membered ring containing two oxygen atoms and four carbon atoms, with the hydroxyl group located at the 5-position of the ring. It is typically a colorless liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity, and is known for its relatively low volatility. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts hydrophilic properties, making it soluble in water and polar solvents. 1,3-Dioxan-5-ol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification, and is of interest in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the surrounding functional groups and the overall molecular environment. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
