Identification of alkyl substituted 2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-ones as germination stimulants present in smoke
The butenolide, 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one (1), is a major compound in smoke responsible for promoting the seed germination of a wide range of plant species. We now report the structure of five alkyl substituted variants of 1 that are also present in smoke. The concentrations of these analog...
