CHEMILUMINESCENT SYSTEMS
Abstract
Maximum brightness and efficiency of the chemiluminescent autoxidation of indoles in basic solution in polar aprotic solvents is found for the 5- and 6-substituted skatoles. 2,3-Dimethylindole- 5-carboxylic acid yields greater peak brightness than skatole at the standard 0.005 M concentration in DMSO, although with lower efficiency than skatole. The fluorescence spectrum of a basic solution of orthoacetamido acetophenone, in DMSO, matches the chemiluminescence emission spectrum of 2,3-dimethylindole in peak wavelength and contour.
