Functionalized 1, 2-dioxetanes as potential phototherapeutic agents: the synthesis of carboxylate, carbonate, carbamate, and ether derivatives of 3-(hydroxymethyl)-3, …
With gentle and efficient synthetic methods, 3-(hydroxymethyl)-3, 4, 4-trimethyl-l, Z- dioxetane(1) can be transformed with appropriate electrophiles in moderate to good yields into functionalized derivatives of dioxetane 1. As electrophiles served carboxylic acids, chlorocarbonates, isocyanates, trialkyloxonium salts, and trialkylsilyl chlorides. With 1 these afford respectively dioxetanes with carboxylate, carbonate, carbamate, ether, and silyl ...
