In the title mol-ecule, C(16)H(15)FO(4), the fused 1,3-dioxane and cyclo-hexane rings exhibit a bath and a chair conformation, respectively. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers.

A nickel- and manganese-catalyzed decarboxylative cross coupling of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and 1, 4-dioxane was developed. Oxyalkylation was achieved when nickel acetate was used as catalyst, while manganese acetate promoted the reaction of alkenylation.

In the title mol-ecule, C(17)H(18)O(5), which was prepared by the reaction of (R)-1,5-dioxaspiro-[5.5]undecane-2,4-dione and 4-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde with ethanol, the 1,3-dioxane ring is in a distorted envelope conformation with the spiro C atom forming the flap. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Solvatochromic shifts of the electronic states of a chromophore can be used as a measure of solute-solvent interactions. The shifts of the electronic states of a model organic chromophore, p-nitroaniline (pNA), embedded in solvents with different polarities (water, 1,4-dioxane, and cyclohexane) are studied using a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular-mechanics-type technique in which the chromoph...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H11N5O2S·0.5C4H8O2, contains one 3-(p-tol-yl)sydnone 4-thio-semi-carba-zone mol-ecule and a half mol-ecule of 1,4-dioxane, which lies abount an inversion centre. The sydnone ring is almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.002 (1) Å, and forms a dihedral angle of 46.31 (5)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, the two components are linked int...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2)O(3)·0.5C(4)H(8)O(2), pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into dimers with R(2) (2)(12) motifs, which are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra-molecular array in the ab plane. The 1,4-dioxane ring, which lies about an inversion center, adopts a chair conformation.

In the presence of water lithium tetrahydroborate is capable of reducing pyridine to 1,4dihydropyridine. The product, lithiumtetrakis(pyridine) tetrakis(1,4-hydropyridyl)borate, was isolated and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. [Li(py)4][B(pyH)4]2(1,4-dioxane) crystallized in space group P42/n, Z = 2. Similarly, NaBH4 can also reduce pyridine in the...

The alkylating potential of beta-propiolactone (BPL), beta-butyrolactone (BBL), gamma-butyrolactone, and delta-valerolactone, which can be formed by the in vivo nitrosation of primary amino acids, was investigated kinetically. The nucleophile NBP, 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine, a trap for alkylating agents, was used as an alkylation substrate. The alkylation reactions were performed under mimicked ...

1,4-Dioxane (CAS No. 123-91-1) is used primarily as a solvent or as a solvent stabilizer. It can cause lung, liver, and kidney damage at sufficiently high exposure levels. Two physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of 1,4-dioxane and its major metabolite, hydroxyethoxyacetic acid (HEAA), were published in 1990. These models have uncertainties and deficiencies that could be addresse...
