Abstract
Methyl 3,7-didehydrojasmonate was synthesized as an analogue of methyl epijasmonate. This analogue inhibited the germination of lettuce seed more strongly than methyl jasmonate. Methyl 4,5-didehydrojasmonate wa s also synthesized and its biological activities were comparable to th ose of methyl jasmonate. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
