Abstract
The labile peroxy acid compound has been synthesized and is one of the postulated intermediates in chemiluminescent reactions of coelenterat e luciferin, Cypridina luciferin, and their analogues. The peroxy acid generated amide was accompanied by light in several solvent systems. In the non-polar solvent, the peroxy acid showed luminescence with one peak at 395 nm emitted from a neutral amide, whereas in polar solvent s the peroxy acid generated light with 456-470 nm emitted from an anio nic amide. The variations in luminescence are caused by the acidity of the peroxy acid group. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
