Hybrid-type strigolactone analogues derived from auxins.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strigolactones (SLs) have a vast number of ecological implications because of the broad spectrum of their biological activities. Unfortunately, the limited availability of SLs restricts their applicability for the benefit of humanity and renders synthesis the only option for their production. However, the structural complexity of SLs impedes their economical synthesis, which is unfeasible on a large scale. Synthesis of SL analogues and mimics with a simpler structure, but with retention of bioactivity, is the solution to this problem.

Results

Here, we present eight new hybrid-type SL analogues derived from auxin, synthesized via coupling of auxin ester [ethyl 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetate] and of ethyl 2-phenylacetate with four D-rings (mono-, two di- and trimethylated
