Abstract
Ether analogues of a plant growth regulator isolated from Botrytis squ amosa, (2S,2'S)- and (2S,3'R)-dimethyl 3-phenyl-2,2'-oxydipropionate ( 1), were prepared by the Williamson synthesis, and the two diastereome rs were separated. The absolute configurations of both diastereomers w ere determined by chemical transformation. The promoting effect of bot h synthesize analogues on lettuce seedling growth was similar to that of the natural plant growth regulator.
