title: New synthesis of A-ring aromatic strigolactone analogues and their evaluation as plant hormones in pea (Pisum sativum).
abstract: A new general access to A-ring aromatic strigolactones, a new class of plant hormones, has been developed. The key transformations include in sequence ring-closing metathesis, enzymatic kinetic resolution and a radical cyclization with atom transfer to install the tricyclic ABC-ring system. The activity as plant hormones for the inhibition of shoot branching in pea of various analogues synthesized by this strategy is reported.
