Monoacyl hydrazides based on 5-methyldehydroluciferin and simpler analogs have been synthesized; they proved to be chemiluminescent on treatment with a strong base in DMSO in the presence of oxygen. The light emitters in these cases appear to be the corresponding carboxylate ions; a pathway involving an oxidative decarboxylation was eliminated as a possibility by consideration of the fluorescence wavelengths of the corresponding oxyluciferins. A reaction mechanism for the luminescence involving the possible intermediacy of an azadioxetane is proposed. The corresponding amides were also synthesized; they proved to be equally chemiluminescent to the hydrazides in the dehydroluciferin series.
