Abstract

Dioxetane compounds reactable with an enzyme to release optically detectable eneregy are disclosed. These compounds have the formula: ##STR1## wherein T is a carboxylic acid or methoxy substituted adamantyl group bound to the ring through a spiro bond, Y is phenoxy or napthyloxy and X is methoxy, ethoxy or propoxy. Z is an enzyme cleavable group such that when cleaved by an enzyme, an electron rich moiety is left bound to the dioxetane ring.
