Syntheses of (+/-)-methyl 6'alpha-demethyl-6'alpha-cyanoabscisate and (+/-)-methyl 6'alpha-demethyl-6'alpha-methoxycarbonylabscisate.
New abscisic acid analogs possessing a cyano or methoxycarbonyl group at the 6'alpha-position of methyl abscisate were synthesized by regioselective hydrocyanation. These compounds had weak activity in the rice second leaf sheath elongation test.
