First enantioselective synthesis of (-)-seiridin the major phytotoxic metabolite of Seiridium species pathogenic for cypress
摘要:
The first enantioselective synthesis of seiridin, a phytotoxic dialkylsubstituted butenolide produced by three Seiridium species, fungi pathogenic for cypress, is described. The short sequence, which leads to optically pure compound 1, would be useful to the obtaining of larger quantities of the compound for genetic selection of resistant cypress plants.
