Luminol, which is used by forensic scientists to find blood, fluoresces as a result of Dielsâ€“Alder-like process. The dianion of luminol reacts with O2 to form an unstable peroxide intermediate that then loses nitrogen to form a dicarboxylate and emit light. The process is similar to that in 14-21 and 14-22. Propose a mechanism for this process.
