Abstract
Five new derivatives of 6 alpha,7 beta-dihydroxyvouacapan-17 beta-oic acid were prepared. The effect of these new furan diterpenes on the ra dicle growth of Sorghum bicolor L, and Cucumis sativus L. was evaluate d. All compounds, at a concentration of 100 ppm, showed an inhibitory effect (40-63%) on the radicle growth of S. bicolor L. and a small sti mulatory growth effect (3-15%) on the radicle of C. sativus L. None of the compounds had any effect on the germination rate of both plants.
