Abstract
The alkenyl-substituted 1,2-dioxetane (1) was prepared by photosensitized singlet oxygenation of 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene and its activation and excitation parameters determined. It is shown that dioxetane (1) is comparable in its thermal stability to alkyl-substituted dioxetanes and an inefficient chemical source of electronic excitation.
