Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references A dioxirane is a molecule containing a three-membered ring composed of one carbon and two oxygens. Somewhat unstable, they are used in organic synthesis as oxidizing reagents.[1] The only dioxirane in common use is dimethyldioxirane (DMDO), the oxirane derived from acetone.
