Product Information

• Name: Benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-one is a chemical compound that is used as a dehydrating agent. It has been shown that benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-one can be used as a model system to study the functional theory of carbonylation reactions. This process involves the conversion of an alcohol into an ester with the aid of a cocatalyst and inorganic reagents. The reaction of benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-one with methyl cinnamate results in the formation of hydroxybenzaldehyde, which may be converted to hydroxybenzyl alcohol by oxidation. The molecular ion peak for this product was observed at m/z = 186. Benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-one also reacts with primary alcohols to form dehydrating agents and carbonyl compounds such as carbon tetrachloride and
