Proposal to move/merge artice
This article seems too specialized. As far as I can tell, CSPD is just one of many similar reagents used in enhanced-chemiluminescence variants of ELISA assays. The enhanced chemiluminescence article currently is a redirect to chemiluminescence. Methinks that this article and the "Enhanced chemiluminescence" section of chemiluminescence should be merged and either become a section of the ELISA article, or, better, made into a new article, enhanced chemiluminescence ELISA. What do you think? All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 15:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I would argue that this article is for a reagent and therefore should remain a separate article. The two topics that it is suggested that this be merged with are about analytical techniques which may (or may not) utilise this reagent. Therefore it seems prudent for the afforementioned articles to mention this compound and provide a link to this page where a reader may discover the structure and the reactivity of the compound. -- The chemistds (talk) 14:32, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Wrong equation
This article is named after one substance (CSPD) but the equations refer to another similar but distinct substance (AMPPD). --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 18:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Incomplete name
The text says that one of the intermetiate products is 1,2-dioxetane. But from the references and the equation it seems to be a *derivative* of 1,2-dioxetane. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 18:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect descriptions
I have removed the following text ... In typical uses of ELISA kits, the enzyme alkaline phosphatase removes the phosphate group from CSPD, yielding a reactive anion (phenolate, which then splits itself in two components, adamantane and 1,2-dioxetane. This second reaction emits turquoise-coloured light (λmax = 477 nm).  The decomposition of the dioxetane generates a secondary glow.


 * $$AMPPD \overrightarrow{_{AP}} AMPD^- + P$$

(A = adamantyl, M = methoxy, P = phenyl, P = phosphate, D = 1,2-dioxetane

The Baeyer energy that is stored in the ring, is emitted as 477 nm light.
 * $$AMPD^- \rightarrow A + MP + h\nu$$

...because there are problems with the descriptions of the chemical reactions involved including: -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:37, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Adamantane and 1,2-dioxetane themselves are not products or intermediates of these reactions, but rather derivatives of these compounds
 * It is really not clear which reaction is emitting the 477 nm chemiluminescence and which other one "generates a secondary glow". Is light really emitted in two separate steps?
 * The chemical equation describes the reactions of AMPPD, not CSPD (the subject of this article)
