1,3-Dioxetane (1,3-dioxacyclobutane) is a
dimer of formaldehyde
(COH2).
Derivatives of 1,3-dioxetane are rarely encountered as intermediates in the literature. Usually, they are prepared via [2+2] cycloadditions of two carbonyl compounds. Molecular orbital theory calculations suggest that they should be more stable than the 1,2-isomers, which are more intensively studied.[1]
