Weak chemiluminescence emission during base induced rearrangement of G-factors.
A rearrangement in basic medium of the natural endoperoxide G3-factor extracted from Eucalyptus grandis is described. Evidence to support a 1,2-dioxetane intermediate that decomposes with weak luminescence emission (quantum yield) is presented.
