Due to its peroxide-like characteristics, 1,2-dioxin is very unstable and has not been isolated. Calculations suggest that it would isomerize rapidly into but-2-enedial. Even substituted derivatives, such as 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-benzodioxin, are very labile. thumb|left|Structure of the transient 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-benzodioxin
