1,3-Dioxane or m-dioxane is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH₂)₄O₂. It is a saturated six-membered heterocycle with two oxygen atoms in place of carbon atoms at the 1- and 3- positions. 1,4-Dioxane, which is of greater commercial value, is an isomer. Both dioxanes are colorless liquids.
