Provided is a process for producing an optically active hydroxyaldehyde or aminohydroxyaldehyde. The process for producing an optically active hydroxyaldehyde or aminohydroxyaldehyde is characterized by reacting an aldehyde or an imine with a boric acid enol ester in the presence of a copper compound and an optically active bidentate phosphine compound.

The present invention provides dioxetane-based chemiluminescence probes, more specifically fluorophore-tethered dioxetane-based chemiluminescence probes and compositions thereof. The chemiluminescence probes disclosed are useful for both diagnostics and in vivo imaging.
