Application

1,3-dioxolane can be used as a solvent:      
  • For the extraction of biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) from biomass.     
  • To produce stable dispersions of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the synthesis of modified glassy carbon electrodes.
  • To synthesize copolymers (polyoxymethylene) by cationic copolymerization of 1,3,5-trioxane in the presence of maghnite-H+ as a catalyst.

It is also used as a reactant to prepare quasi-solid-state poly(1,3-dioxolane) electrolyte by Sc(OTf)3 catalyzed ring-opening polymerization reactions.
      

General description

1,3-dioxolane is a heterocyclic acetal that is commonly used as a green solvent in formulations and production processes. It is also used as a reactant in organic synthesis. Long-term storage of 1,3-dioxolane forms organic peroxides. This process can be suppressed by adding butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as a stabilizer. BHT removes the free radicals required for peroxide formation.

A series of 1,3-dioxolane-based compounds incorporating a lactam (2-4) or imide (5-7) moiety was synthesized and the pharmacological profile at alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtypes and 5-HT(1A) receptor was assessed through binding and functional experiments. Starting from the 2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxolane derivative 1, previously shown

An efficient synthesis of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist telmisartan is presented involving a decarboxylative cross-coupling of isopropyl phthalate (1) with 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolane (2c) as the key step (85% yield). The benzimidazole moiety is constructed regioselectively via a reductive amination-condensation sequence
