Abstract
trans‐3‐Methyl‐4‐(p‐anisyl)‐1,2‐dioxetane 1, trans‐3‐methyl‐4‐(o‐anisyl)‐1,2‐dioxetane 2, 3‐methyl‐3‐benzyl‐1,2‐dioxetane 3, and 3‐methyl‐3‐p‐methoxybenzyl‐1,2‐dioxetane 4 were synthesized in low yield by the β‐bromo hydroperoxide method. The activation parameters were determined by the chemiluminescence method (for 1 ΔG≠ = 22.8 ± 0.3 kcal/mol, Δ≠ = 22.2, ΔS≠ = −1.7 e.u., k~60~ = 7.6 × 10^−3^s^−1^; for 2 ΔG≠ + 23.6 ± 0.3 kcal/mol, ΔH≠ = 22.8, ΔS≠ = −2.2 e.u., k~60~ = 2.5 × 10^−3^S^−1^; for 3 ΔG≠ = 24.0 ± 0.4 kcal/mol, ΔH≠ = 23.1, ΔS≠ = −2.7 e.u., k~60~ = 1.2 × 10^−3^S^−1^; for 4 ΔG≠ = 24.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol, ΔH≠, = 23.2, ΔS≠, = −2.4 e.u., k~60~ = 1.2 × 10^−3^s^−1^). Thermolysis of 1–4 produced excited carbonyl fragments (direct production of high yields of triplets relative to excited singlets) [chemiexcitation yields ϕ^T^, ϕ^S^, respectively: for 1 0.02, 0.0001; for 2 0.02, 0.0001; for 3 0.03, 0.0002; for 4 0.02, 0.0001]. The effect of paramethoxyaryl substitution was consistent with electronic effects. The ortho substitution in 2 resulted in an increase in stability of the dioxetane, opposite that observed for an electronic effect. The results are discussed in relation to a diradical‐like mechanism.

## Abstract The chemiluminescent decomposition of functionalized 1,2‐dioxetanes was examined in toluene solution. Activation energies were measured by isothermal and nonisothermal kinetic methods. Quantum efficiencies were determined by Stern‐Volmer kinetics, using the fluorescers 9,10‐dibromo‐ and
Dioxetanes with annelated six-membered ring, 1-(3-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-2,7,8-trioxabicyclo[4.2.0]octanes (2a-2c) were synthesized by singlet oxygenation of the corresponding aryl-substituted dihydropyrans (3). Thermolysis of 2a-2c gave the corresponding ketoesters (5a-5c) as
