Abstract: It has been found that the butenolide 3,4,5-trimethylfuran-2(5H)-one, isolated from plant-derived smoke, efficiently inhibits seed germination and significantly reduces the effect of the highly active germination promotor karrikinolide (KAR

An improved synthesis of γ-hydroxybutenolides 1a - d was achieved via crossed aldol condensation between aldehydes 2a - d and the protected γ-hydroxy-β-methylbutenolides 3 or 4 using the bulky Lewis acid, aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH). Using this same methodology, the γ-hydroxybutenolides 17a - d having various heteroaromatic rings were synthesized and their anti-tumor activities were evaluated.
