General description
3-Aminophthalimide (API) is a stable precursor of luminol. API can be prepared by the hydrogenation of 3-nitrophthalimide and methanol in the presence of 10% Pd-C.
Application
3-Aminophthalimide may be used in direct chemiluminescent cellular bioassays. It may also be used in the preparation of 3-bromopthalimide.

We present a labeling system for direct chemiluminescence-based cellular bioassays using the stable pro-chemiluminescent, luminol precursor, 3-aminophthalimide (API). API-coupled reporter molecules are detected chemiluminometrically after treatment with hydrazine, which converts the API label to luminol. API derivatives containing a variety
