Abstract

The singlet oxygenation of alkenes 1 gives the corresponding dioxetanes 2, whose thermal stability and half-life of chemiluminescence induced by TBAF (NBun4F) are significantly affected by the 3-alkoxyl group. ... It has recently been reported that the reaction pathways of an alkene la with singlet oxygen are affected by the reaction temperature, and the effect is likely due to the interaction, the so-called 'gear effect' of two geminal isopropyl groups.' We report here that ...
