A process is provided for the preparation of a variety of triggerable dioxetanes bearing alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, arlyoxy, aralkyloxy or acyloxy substituents from a common intermediate along with sulfur-substituted dioxetanes and vinyl sulfide compounds used as intermediates. Alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, arlyoxy, aralkyloxy or acyloxy substituted dioxetanes are useful in detecting activating agents and in assays such as immunoassays and nucleic acid hybridization assays. The sulfur-substituted dioxetanes additionally are useful for producing chemiluminescence. The novel process involves conversion of a vinyl sulfide compound to a sulfur-substituted dioxetane, reacting the sulfur-substituted dioxetane with an electrophilic agent and a hydroxylic compound or salt thereof and forming the alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, arlyoxy, aralkyloxy or acyloxy-substituted dioxetane.
