Abstract: | Bicyclic dioxetane 5 bearing a 3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl group and its analogs 14 and 15 decomposed to give light with efficiencies of only 0.002-0.005% in a tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF)/THF system, which was as expected for dioxetanes with a so-called ‘even’ substitution pattern. However, the chemiluminescence efficiencies (ΦCL) markedly increased when these dioxetanes were decomposed with alkaline metal t-butoxide in THF. This enhancement of ΦCL by alkaline metal ion was most likely due to the highly ordered conformation of an aromatic ring by chelate formation of the metal ion with both an oxido anion and oxygen atom of a tetrahydrofuran ring in an intermediary dioxetane like 12. Alkaline metal ion-enhanced chemiluminescence was similarly observed for dioxetane 6 bearing a 2-hydroxyphenyl group. |
