Thermal stability and chemiluminescence of 3-alkoxy-3-aryl-4,4-diisopropyl-1,2-dioxetanes

Abstract

The singlet oxygenation of alkenes 1 gives the corresponding dioxetanes 2, whose thermal stability and half-life of Chemiluminescence induced by TBAF (NBun4F) are significantly affected by the 3-alkoxyl group.
