PCT No. PCT/US96/09249 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 22, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 22, 1997 PCT Filed Jun. 19, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/00849 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 9, 1997Vinyl sulfides bearing protected arlyoxy substituents and a process for their preparation are provided. In the process a vinyl sulfide is formed by coupling a ketone compound and a thioester compound with a low valent titanium reagent to form both carbon-carbon bonds in the same step. The vinyl sulfide compounds are useful as intermediates which are convertible into triggerable sulfur-substituted dioxetanes by addition of oxygen to the double bond. The sulfur-substituted dioxetanes additionally are useful for producing chemiluminescence or for further conversion into triggerable alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynloxy, aryloxy, aralkyloxy, or acyloxy-substituted dioxetanes. Triggerable dioxetanes are useful for producing chemiluminescence and in detecting activating agents in assays such as immunoassays and nucleic acid hybridization assays. |
