Abstract

A stable 1,2-dioxetane of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X' is a phenyl group with 0 to 2 Cl or I atoms. This 1,2-dioxetane is a double-trigger substrate. The 2-methyl-4-hydroxy-naphthyl group is first removed by horseradish peroxidase. The exposed phosphate group is then removed with alkaline phosphatase. The exposed phenoxy 1,2-dioxetane decomposes to generate chemiluminescence output in immunoassays or nucleic acid hybridization assays.
