Plant-growth inhibitory activity of heliannuol derivatives.
In addition to (+)-, (-)- and (+/-)-heliannuol E, growth-inhibitory activities of five synthetic chromans and four tetrahydrobenzo[b]oxepins were examined against oat and cress. All heliannuol E isomers exhibited similar biological activities against cress, whereas when tested against oat roots, the unnatural optical isomer (+) showed no inhibitory activity. Four brominated chromans and two tetrahydrobenzo[b]oxepin derivatives also showed apparent inhibition against both cress and oat.
