Luminescence in the thermal decomposition of 3,3,4-trimethyl-1,2-dioxetane
Abstract
Luminescence is observed during the thermal decomposition of 3,3,4-trimethyl-1,2-dioxetane to acetone and acetaldehyde. The wavelength maximum of the luminescence is at 430–440 mμ when the decomposition is carried out at 60° in benzene solution. This shows that the decomposition of the dioxetane is a concerted electrocyclic reaction which forms a carbonyl compound in the excited singlet state, and confirms the suggestion that bioluminescence is due to the decomposition of 1,2-dioxetanes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
