Abstract

Abstract: A comprehensive study of the chemiluminescent decomposition of three a- peroxylactones (dimethyl a-peroxylactone (l), phenyl n-butyl a-peroxylactone (t), and diphenyl a-peroxylactone (3)) has been undertaken. Each compound decomposes to yield COz and the corresponding ketone in high yield. The chemiluminescent species produced in these reactions have been characterized by a number of different measurements ...
