2,2′-[1,3-Phenylenebis(oxymethylene)]dioxirane (Cat No.: M069901) is a strained, three-membered ring compound incorporating two dioxirane units linked through a 1,3-phenylene core via oxymethylene bridges. This highly reactive molecule is studied primarily for its oxidative capabilities, particularly in epoxidation and oxygen-transfer reactions. Due to its ring strain and electrophilic oxygen atoms, it is of interest in synthetic organic chemistry for selective oxidation processes. Its potential as a mild, metal-free oxidant makes it valuable in green chemistry and mechanistic studies of reactive oxygen species.
