Dioxetanes which couple with organic and biological molecules of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is a leaving group which is removed by an activating agent other than an enzyme which is removed by an activating agent to produce light, wherein A is a coupling substituent, Ar is a substituent selected from the group consisting of phenyl and naphthyl to provide a label are described. R.sub.1 is an optional linker substituent and can have between 1 and 30 carbon atoms with some of the carbon atoms being oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen or phosphorus. Ar as phenyl is preferred. The dioxetane coupled molecules are useful in assays of all types where luminescence can be used as an indicator.
描述了与有机和
生物分子偶联的二氧杂环烷化合物的公式:##STR1## 其中X是一个离去基团,它被除酶外的激活剂去除以产生光,其中A是偶联取代基,Ar是从苯基和
萘基组成的取代基,用于提供标签。 R.sub.1是可选的连接取代基,可以具有1至30个碳原子,其中一些碳原子是氧、
硫、氮或
磷。 首选苯基作为Ar。 偶联的二氧杂环烷分子在所有类型的测定中都有用,其中发光可以用作指示剂。
