Synthesis of a novel plant growth promoter from gallic acid.
Gallic acid has been modified to naphthophenone derivatives with esterified fatty acid side chain. Compound 12, an ethyl crotonate ester of naphthophenone derivative has shown potent auxin like growth promoter activity. This is the first example of naphthophenone derivatives with plant growth promoting activity.
