Deuterated chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetanes

摘要

Deuterium-based i.e. isotopic hydrogen chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetanes derived from the photo-oxidation of new novel alkenes which are synthesized by the coupling reaction of (a) a saturated or unsaturated cyclic, polycylic, normal or branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl and spiro-fused and (b) substituted aromatic esters or ketones wherein (a) or (b) or both at least have a deuterium atom or a deuterium atom-containing group. These deuterium-based 1,2-dioxetanes may also have electron donating or withdrawing groups at the four-membered peroxide ring. Thus, the added electronic charge and the isotopic hydrogen or isotopic hydrogen-containing group hereof affects the light producing efficiency of 1,2-dioxetanes.
