'''1,4-Dioxane''' ({{IPAc-en|d|aɪ|ˈ|ɒ|k|s|eɪ|n}}) is a [[Heterocyclic compound|heterocyclic]] [[organic compound]], classified as an [[ether]]. It is a colorless liquid with a faint sweet [[odor]] similar to that of [[diethyl ether]]. The compound is often called simply '''dioxane''' because the other dioxane [[isomer]]s ([[1,2-Dioxane|1,2-]] and [[1,3-Dioxane|1,3-]]) are rarely encountered.

Dioxane is used as a solvent for a variety of practical applications as well as in the laboratory, and also as a stabilizer for the transport of [[chlorinated hydrocarbons]] in aluminium containers.<ref name=wisc>Wisconsin Department of Health Services (2013) [https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/p0/p00514.pdf 1,4-Dioxane Fact Sheet] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201016235134/https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/p0/p00514.pdf |date=16 October 2020 }}. Publication 00514. Accessed 2016-11-12.</ref>

== Synthesis ==

Dioxane is produced by the acid-catalysed [[Dehydration reaction|dehydration]] of [[diethylene glycol]], which in turn is obtained from the [[hydrolysis]] of [[ethylene oxide]].

In 1985, the global production capacity for dioxane was between 11,000 and 14,000 tons.<ref name=Ullmann /> In 1990, the total U.S. production volume of dioxane was between 5,250 and 9,150 tons.<ref name=OPPT>{{cite web |url= http://www.epa.gov/chemfact/dioxa-sd.pdf |publisher= [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] |work= OPPT Chemical Fact Sheets |date= February 1995 |title= 1, 4-Dioxane Fact Sheet: Support Document |access-date=14 May 2010 <!--Added by DASHBot-->}}</ref>

== Structure ==

The dioxane molecule is centrosymmetric, meaning that it adopts a [[chair conformation]], typical of relatives of [[cyclohexane]]. However, the molecule is conformationally flexible, and the [[boat conformation]] is easily adopted, e.g. in the [[chelation]] of metal cations.

Dioxane resembles a smaller [[crown ether]] with only two ethyleneoxyl units.

== Uses ==

=== Trichloroethane transport ===

In the 1980s, most of the dioxane produced was used as a stabilizer for [[1,1,1-Trichloroethane|1,1,1-trichloroethane]] for storage and transport in [[aluminium]] containers. Normally aluminium is protected by a passivating oxide layer, but when these layers are disturbed, the metallic aluminium reacts with trichloroethane to give [[aluminium trichloride]], which in turn catalyses the [[dehydrohalogenation]] of the remaining trichloroethane to [[vinylidene chloride]] and [[hydrogen chloride]]. Dioxane "poisons" this catalysis reaction by forming an [[adduct]] with aluminium trichloride.<ref name=Ullmann>{{cite book |last1=Surprenant |first1=Kenneth S. |title=Dioxane in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry |year=2000 |doi=10.1002/14356007.a08_545|chapter=Dioxane |isbn=978-3527306732 }}</ref>

=== As a solvent ===

[[File:Binary phase diagram dioxane-water.svg|left|thumb|200px|Binary [[phase diagram]] for the system 1,4-dioxane/water]]

Dioxane is used in a variety of applications as a versatile [[aprotic solvent]], e. g. for inks, adhesives, and cellulose esters. It is substituted for [[tetrahydrofuran]] (THF) in some processes, because of its lower toxicity and higher boiling point (101&nbsp;°C, versus 66&nbsp;°C for THF).<ref name=weiss>Klaus Weissermel, Hans-Jürgen Arpe (2003) "Industrial Organic Chemistry". John Wiley & Sons, page 158. {{ISBN|3527305785}}, 9783527305780.</ref>

While diethyl ether is rather insoluble in water, dioxane is [[miscible]] and in fact is [[hygroscopic]]. At standard pressure, the mixture of water and dioxane in the ratio 17.9:82.1 by mass is a positive [[azeotrope]] that boils at 87.6 C.<ref>Schneider, C. H.; Lynch, C. C.: ''The Ternary System: Dioxane-Ethanol-Water'' in [[J. Am. Chem. Soc.]], 1943, vol. 65, pp 1063–1066. {{doi|10.1021/ja01246a015}}.</ref>

The oxygen atoms are weakly [[Lewis base|Lewis-basic]]. It forms adducts with a variety of Lewis acids. It is classified as a [[HSAB theory|hard base]] and its base parameters in the [[ECW model]] are E_B =1.86 and C_B = 1.29.

Dioxane produces [[coordination polymer]]s by linking metal centers.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/chem.201903120|title=Structure–Solubility Relationship of 1,4-Dioxane Complexes of Di(hydrocarbyl)magnesium |year=2019 |last1=Fischer |first1=Reinald |last2=Görls |first2=Helmar |last3=Meisinger |first3=Philippe R. |last4=Suxdorf |first4=Regina |last5=Westerhausen |first5=Matthias |journal=Chemistry – A European Journal |volume=25 |issue=55 |pages=12830–12841 |pmid=31328293 |pmc=7027550 }}</ref> In this way, it is used to drive the [[Schlenk equilibrium]], allowing the synthesis of dialkyl magnesium compounds.<ref name=Ullmann /> [[Dimethylmagnesium]] is prepared in this manner:<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Preparation of Dialkylmagnesium Compounds from Grignard Reagents|last1=Cope |first1=Arthur C. |journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society |volume=57 |page=2238 |year=1935 |doi=10.1021/ja01314a059 |issue=11}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Anteunis |first1=M. |title=Studies of the Grignard Reaction.

It tends to concentrate in the water and has little affinity for soil. It is resistant to abiotic degradation in the environment, and was formerly thought to also resist [[biodegradation]]. However, more recent studies since the 2000s have found that it can be biodegraded through a number of pathways, suggesting that [[bioremediation]] can be used to treat 1,4-dioxane contaminated water.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zenker |first1=Matthew J. |last2=Borden |first2=Robert C. |last3=Barlaz |first3=Morton A. |title=Occurrence and Treatment of 1,4-Dioxane in Aqueous Environments |journal=Environmental Engineering Science |date=September 2003 |volume=20 |issue=5 |pages=423–432 |doi=10.1089/109287503768335913}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zhang |first1=Shu |last2=Gedalanga |first2=Phillip B. |last3=Mahendra |first3=Shaily |title=Advances in bioremediation of 1,4-dioxane-contaminated waters |journal=Journal of Environmental Management |date=December 2017 |volume=204 |issue=Pt 2 |pages=765–774 |doi=10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.05.033|pmid=28625566 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

=== Explosion hazard ===

Like some other ethers, dioxane combines with atmospheric oxygen upon prolonged exposure to air to form potentially explosive [[peroxide]]s. [[Distillation]] of these mixtures is dangerous. Storage over metallic sodium could limit the risk of peroxide accumulation.

=== Environment ===

Dioxane has affected groundwater supplies in several areas. Dioxane at the level of 1 μg/L (~1 ppb) has been detected in many locations in the US.<ref name="OPPT" /> In the U.S. state of New Hampshire, it had been found at 67 sites in 2010, ranging in concentration from 2 ppb to over 11,000 ppb. Thirty of these sites are solid waste landfills, most of which have been closed for years. In 2019, the Southern Environmental Law Center successfully sued Greensboro, North Carolina's Wastewater treatment after 1,4-Dioxane was found at 20 times above EPA safe levels in the Haw River.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-18 |title=1,4-dioxane in Greensboro {{!}} Haw River Assembly |url=https://hawriver.org/14-dioxane-in-greensboro/ |access-date=2022-05-13 |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Cosmetics ===

As a byproduct of the [[ethoxylation]] process, a route to some ingredients found in cleansing and moisturizing products, dioxane can contaminate cosmetics and personal care products such as deodorants, perfumes, shampoos, toothpastes and mouthwashes.<ref>[http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/roc/tenth/profiles/s080diox.pdf Tenth Report on Carcinogens] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041101071935/http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/roc/tenth/profiles/s080diox.pdf |date=1 November 2004 }}.
