Abstract
Abstract An azide catalyst for peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence reactions is provided, which catalyzes a reaction of an oxalic acid ester compound with a peroxide in a solvent to produce 1,4 dioxetane dione as an intermediate that is subsequently decomposed catalytically by a fluorescent agent to emit light. The catalyst improves not only luminous efficiency such as luminous time and luminous intensity but also reaction of the intermediate with a peroxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A method for conducting a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence reaction, which consists essentially of catalyzing with an azide catalyst the reaction, in a solvent, of oxalic acid ester and a peroxide in the presence of a fluorescent agent to produce an intermediate, and decomposing said intermediate with the fluorescent agent to emit light.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
51 words
A method for conducting a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence reaction, which consists essentially of catalyzing with an azide catalyst the reaction, in a solvent, of oxalic acid ester and a peroxide in the presence of a fluorescent agent to produce an intermediate, and decomposing said intermediate with the fluorescent agent to emit light.
