75°C (348°K) 1,4-dioxin can be prepared by cycloaddition, namely by the Diels-Alder reaction. [1] Dioxin is used as a blanket term for a family of chemical compounds that are formed through combustion, chlorine bleaching and manufacturing processes.[2] The combination of heat and chlorine creates dioxin.[2] Since chlorine is often a part of the earth's environment, natural ecological activity such as volcanic activity and forest fires can lead to the formation of dioxin.[2] Nevertheless, dioxin, a highly carcinogenic and toxic compound, is mostly created by human activity.[2] The word dioxin can also in a general way refer to compounds whose molecules have a dioxin core skeletal structure with substituent molecular groups attached to it. For example, dibenzo-1,4-dioxin is a compound whose structure consists of two benzo- groups fused onto a 1,4-dioxin ring as shown below (see also Dibenzodioxin).
