1,2-Benzoisoxazole is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C7H5NO containing a benzene-fused isoxazole ring structure. The compound itself has no general application; however, functionalized benzoxazoles and benzoisoxazoles have a variety of uses, including therapeutic drugs such as some antipsychotics (including risperidone, paliperidone, cape ketone and iloperidone) and the anticonvulsant azolamide.
Dioxolane is a heterocyclic acetal with the formula (CH2)2O2CH2. It is related to tetrahydrofuran by exchanging an oxygen for the CH2 group. The isomer 1,2-dioxolane (in which the two oxygen centers are adjacent) is a peroxide. 1,3-Dioxolane is used as solvent and comonomer in polyacetal. The dioxolane-type and their hydrogenolysis can provide very valuable partially protected building blocks either for oligosaccharide syntheses or sugar transformations.
