Dibenzodioxin, C12H8O2, is an organic heterocyclic compound in which two benzene rings are attached to a dioxin ring.
The name generally refers to the dibenzo-p-dioxin, as no detailed information is available on the dibenzo-o-dioxin isomer, expected to be highly unstable with peroxidelike characteristics.
Dibenzo-1,4-dioxin can be prepared by cycloaddition, namely by the Diels-Alder reaction[1]
