Abstract
9-Deoxy-15-methoxymethoxycotylenol and 9-deoxy-19-methoxymethoxycotyle nol were synthesized to clarify a role of the 9 alpha-hydroxyl of coty lenol, a common aglycon of cotylenins possessing potent plant growth-r egulating activities. Both of the 9-deoxycotylenol derivatives stimula ted germination of lettuce seeds and therefore it has been clarified t hat the 9 alpha-hydroxyl of cotylenol is not essential for the biologi cal activities.
