PCT No. PCT/US91/06096 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 30, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 30, 1992 PCT Filed Aug. 30, 1991.Enzymatically cleavable chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetane compounds capable of producing light energy when decomposed, substantially stable at room temperature before a bond by which an enzymatically cleavable labile substituent thereof is intentionally cleaved, are disclosed. These compounds can be represented by the formula: <IMAGE> The corresponding dioxetanes which, instead of being substituted at the 5' or 7', or at the 5' and 7' positions, instead contain a 4' methylene group, are also disclosed, as are intermediates for all these 3-substituted adamant-2'-ylidenedioxetanes, and their use as reporter molecules in assays.
