H. Okamura et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITIES OF DEGRADED LIMONOIDS, (+ -)-FRAXINELLONONE AND ITS RELATED-COMPOUNDS/, Tetrahedron letters, 38(2), 1997, pp. 263-266
The first synthesis of (+/-)-fraxinellonone and its short step convers
ion into (+/-)-fraxinellone and (+/-)-isofraxinellone is described. Th
e synthesized compounds exhibited moderate insect-antifeeding activity
against Spodoptera exigua H. (Boisduval) and ichthyotoxicity against
killifish. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
