A route comprising (i) a cycloaddition reaction of citraconic anhydride with the Winterfeldt auxiliary, (ii) hydride reduction of the cycloadduct, (iii) a (formal) ether formation, and (iv) a cycloreversion reaction allows efficient stereocontrol at C-2' in the synthesis of strigol and its structural analogues.

A range of analogues of the natural germination stimulant, strigol, for parasitic weeds of the genera Striga and Orobanche, has been prepared.Most of the products contain an α-formyl-γ-lactone (or α-formyl-γ-lactam) grouping attached through an enol-ether linkage to the 5-position of a but-2-enolide.Some have shown sufficiently high activities as to warrant large-scale field trials.
