1,4-Disubstituted 2,3-epoxy-1,4-butanediones were converted to 1,4-disubstituted 2-hydroxy-1,4-butanediones with SbCl3-Bu 4NI in the presence of Na2S2O 3-5H2O. The ring opening of terminal epoxides can also be accomplished to afford the corresponding haloalcohol with SbCl3 and tetrabutylammonium halides, Bu4NX (X = Cl, Br, I) under the same reaction conditions.

2-Hydroxyl-1-phenyl-1,4-pentanedione (HPP) was isolated and identified from Pharbitis purpurea as a flower-inducing substance by using Lemna paucicostata 151 as a bioassay plant.This compound was racemic and was found to be an artifact, which could be formed by condensation between acetone and phenylglyoxal.Phenylglyoxal was shown to be naturally occurring in P. purpurea and also had flowering activity.The activity of each compound was inhibited by GA3, ABA and IAA, and promoted by zeatin in L. paucicostata 151, as in the case of benzoic acid-related compounds.
