개요1,3-Benzodioxole, widely found in plant products, has shown potent antioxidant and antibacterial activities. It has recently been reported that 1,3-benzodioxole derivatives possess cytotoxic activity against several human tumor cell lines, including human colon carcinoma cells and multidrug-resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. No cytotoxic effects were noticed at a concentration of 10-4 M.

용도1,3-Benzodioxole is useful in gemological stimulant detection. It is also used as a precursor for perfumes, photo initiators, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. 1,3-benzodimine is an intermediate for the synthesis of the drugs oxolinic acid, cinoxacin and miloxacin.

일반 설명Supersonic jet fluorescence spectra of 1,3-benzodioxole has been studied. The far-infrared spectrum of the vapour of 1,3-benzodioxole has been reported. The electronic absorption spectra and the laser-induced fluorescence spectra of supersonic-jet-cooled 1,3-benzodioxole molecules has been investigated.

생산 방법1,3-Benzodioxole is synthesized through the reaction of catechol with dihalomethanes, typically employing a concentrated aqueous alkaline solution in the presence of tetraalkylammonium or phosphonium salts, sometimes in the presence of alkyl iodides. 1,3-Benzodioxole is an important intermediate in organic synthesis, especially for the preparation of alkaloids.
