Preparation and Characterisation of 2,2,2-Triphenyl-2λ 5 -1,3,2-Dioxastibolane-4,5-Dione as Standard For an Attempt to Trap 1,2-Dioxetanedione,A Possible High-Energy Intermediate in Peroxyoxalate Chemiluminescence †
The thermally stable triorganoantimony derivative, 2,2,2-triphenyl-2λ5-1,3,2-dioxastibolane-4,5-dione, has been prepared and characterised being then used as a reference in attempts to trap 1,2-dioxetanedione, one of the high-energy intermediates postulated in peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence, by an insertion reaction with triphenylantimony.
