Bruchins—Mitogenic 3-(Hydroxypropanoyl) Esters of Long Chain Diols from Weevils of the Bruchidae
摘要:
Mono- and bis 3-(hydroxypropanoyl) esters of long chain, unsaturated diols have been isolated and identified from two genera of the family Bruchidae, and have been shown to be responsible for the mitogenic activity observed on pea pods resulting from oviposition by the pea weevil, Bruchus pisorum. The mitogenic compounds have been characterized and synthesized. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
polysubstituted cyclobutanones by [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of ketenes with chiral acyclic enol ethers is reported. A wide variety of easily accessible di- and monosubstituted ketenes were found to react with a very high degree of stereoselectivity with chiral, Stericol derived, acyclic enol ethers. This combination of simple reagents provides straightforward entry to highly substituted enantioenriched
