Synthesis and Root Growth‐Inhibitory Activity of 2‐ and 3‐(Haloacetylamino)‐3‐(2‐furyl)propanoic Acids.

Abstract

Synthesis and Root Growth-Inhibitory Activity of 2-and 3-(Haloacetylamino)-3-(2-furyl)propanoic Acids. -Convenient syntheses of the title haloacetylamino-3-furylpropanoic acids (V) and (IX) are described. Both the chloroacetylamino compounds (Va) and (IXa) show about 50% root growth-inhibitory activity towards rape seedlings. -(KITAGAWA*, T.; NAKAMURA, M.; MASAI, K.; Chem. Pharm.
