Dioxanes

1,4-Dioxane is used as a stabilizer for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and chlorinated solvents. It acts as a solvent for cellulose acetate, ethyl cellulose, benzyl cellulose, resins, oils, waxes, dyes, other organic and inorganic compounds. It acts as a substitute for tetrahydrofuran due to its higher boiling point and lower toxicity. Further, it is used as an internal standard for proton NMR spectroscopy in deuterium oxide. It plays an important role in liquid scintillation counting in biological procedures, and as a wetting and dispersing agent in textile processing. It is involved in the preparation of dimethylmagnesium by reacting with methylmagnesium bromide, and in the preparation of histological sections for microscopic examination.

L-Lactide upon polymerization gives poly(lactic acid), which finds many useful properties like biodegradable and nontoxic to the human body and the environment. Its polymer, poly-l-lactide is utilized in the repairing of orbital posterior floor fracture. Further, it is used as biomedical materials for tissue regeneration, matrices for drug delivery systems and alternatives for commercial polymeric materials to reduce the impact on the environment.
