The reactions of 3,3-disubstituted 1,2-dioxetanes 1 with numerous heteroatom nucleophiles, e.g., R 2 NH, R 3 N, RSH R 2 S, CN - , SCN - , Br - , Cl - , OH - , and O 2 .- , were investigated. Initial nucleophilic substitution at the sterically less hindered site of the dioxetane peroxide bond leads to addition, deoxygenation, and fragementation products. The observed S N 2 chemistry was substantiated

The thermal decomposition of 3,3-dibenzyl-1,2-dioxetane (1) in CDCl 3 and CH 2 Cl 2 solutions afforded the expected decomposition product 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone (2) and the novel rearrangement ketone 1-(benzyloxy)-3-phenyl-2-propanone (3) in ratios of (73±10):(27±10). A plausible mechanism for the formation of ketone 3 involves homolytic cleavage of the dioxetane peroxide bond with subsequent β cleavage
The reaction of 1,2-dioxetanes with enamines as pi-nucleophiles was investigated. 3,3-Dibenzyl-1,2-dioxetane (1) was allowed to react with enamines 2a-c in methylene chloride to afford after hydrolysis the corresponding alpha-alkoxylated ketones 4a-c. Additionally, the reaction of the dimedone-derived enamine 3 with dioxetane 1 yielded the oxidized enamine adduct 4. Nucleophilic attack of the enamine beta-carbon (S(N)2 reactivity) on the sterically less hindered site of the dioxetane peroxide bond is proposed to constitute the initial step of the reaction.

The formation of the rearrangement ketone 3-phenyl-1-(phenylmethoxy)-2-propanone (3) in the thermolysis of 3,3-bis(phenylmethyl)-1,2-dioxetane (1) was rigorously probed for radical-induced chain decomposition. The latter mechanism appears to operate on the basis of the following experimental facts: (a) thermolysis of a mixture of the dioxetanes 1-h(4) and 1-d(4) afforded significant amounts of the crossover beta-keto ethers 3-h(2) and 3-d(2), (b) decomposition in toluene-d(8) in the presence of tert-butyl peroxalate (4) resulted in substantial incorporation of externally generated phenylmethyl-d(7) radicals in the form of the a-keto ether 3-d(7), and (c) in the presence of the triplet quenchers dibromomethane and 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (DBH) the formation of the beta-keto ether 3 was suppressed. Clearly, in the thermolysis of dioxetane 1, free phenylmethyl radicals are generated through Norrish type I cleavage of triplet-excited 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone (2). Attack on the dioxetane peroxide bond leads to the beta-keto ether 3 by beta cleavage of the resulting alkoxy radical with regeneration of the chain-carrying phenylmethyl radical.
