Pa. Rose et al., 8'-ACETYLENE ABA - AN IRREVERSIBLE INHIBITOR OF ABA 8'-HYDROXYLASE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(19), 1997, pp. 2543-2546
(+)-8'-Acetylenic ABA has been synthesized through the ligand assisted
nucleophilic addition of a Grignard reagent to quinol 6 and is shown
to be the first known irreversible inhibitor of ABA 8'-hydroxylase. A
series of ABA analogues has been prepared using this procedure. (C) 19
