Functionalized 1,2-Dioxetanes as Potentially Useful Biological and Chemotherapeutic Agents

Abstract
Hydroxymethyl-substituted 1,2-dioxetanes (3) have been converted in reasonable yields (10-40%) into the carboxylate-substituted 1,2-dioxetanes (4) by means of the Brewster-Ciotti or Mitsunobu esterification and into the tosylate-substituted 1,2-dioxetanes (5) by means of tosyl chloride in pyridine. The fact that hydroxy-functionalized 1,2-dioxetane can be chemically attached to carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids whit preservation of the dioxetane moiety opens up new opportunities for biomedical applications
