Dioxetanes (
1) bearing a phenyl moiety substituted with a methylene or methine having an electron-withdrawing group(s) (-CH
2-Ew or -CH(X)-Ew) and dioxetane (
2) bearing a 3-(1-cyanoethenyl)phenyl group were synthesized. Treatment of dioxetanes (
1) with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) caused their decomposition with accompanying emission of light with maximum wavelength at 530-758 nm. The Michael addition of a bis(methoxycarbonyl)methanide anion to dioxetane (
2) produced initially an unstable dioxetane bearing a phenylmethanide anion, decomposition of which gave light with maximum wavelength at 710-740 nm. Intramolecular cyclopropanation without decomposition of the dioxetane ring took place concurrently for the Michael reaction-induced decomposition of
2 with the bis(methoxycarbonyl)chloromethanide anion.
