Abstract

Acid-catalysed addition of hydrogen peroxide to n-butyl vinyl ether gave a separable mixture of the hydroperoxides ()–(); peroxides ()–() undergo chemiluminescent reactions in acetonitrile with 1, 3, 10-trimethylisoalloxazinium perchlorate in the presence of triethylamine, and the flavin analogue catalyses the decomp
