Abstract:
A chemically triggerable dioxetane of the Formula: ##STR9## wherein X is H or (E).sub.3 Si, wherein each E is C.sub.1-12 alkyl or C.sub.6-12 aryl,wherein R is a moiety of 1-20 carbon atoms and is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl or cycloheteroalkyl, in each case where R comprises a heteroatom, said heteroatom being O, N or S, and wherein R is unsubstituted or substituted with 1-3 halo moieties, 1-3 alkoxy moieties of 1-3 carbons each, 1-3 hydroxy moieties, 1-2 amide moieties, a carboxy group or a sulfonic acid group,Y.sup.1 and Y.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, hydroxy, Cl, F, Br, I, unsubstituted lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkyl, halo lower alkyl, phenyl, halophenyl, alkoxy phenyl, cyano or amide,Z is 1, 2 or 3 groups which are each independently, an electron with drawing substituent that does not suppress the chemiluminescent behavior of the dioxetane,with the proviso that at least one of Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2 and Z is not hydrogen.
