K. Usami et M. Isobe, CHEMILUMINESCENT CHARACTERS OF HYDROPEROXIDE AND DIOXETANONE OF COELENTERATE LUCIFERIN ANALOG PREPARED BY LOW-TEMPERATURE PHOTOOXYGENATION, Chemistry Letters, (3), 1996, pp. 215-216
Chemiluminescent characters of 2-hydroperoxide 2 and 1,2-dioxetanone 6
of coelenterate luciferin analog 1 prepared by low-temperature photoo
xygenation are described. Direct luminescence by thermal decomposition
of 2 or 6 was independently observed, suggesting that the former emit
ted light as anionic amide 4, on the other hand, the latter as neutral
one 7.
