Description
Summary:<abstract language="eng">Mixtures of &#945;-Santonin and various solvents were irradiated by either high or low pressure mercury lamps. The photochemical reactions afforded lumisantonin (11) (76% in acetonitrile), (3S,3aS,9bS)-3,6,6-trimethyl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydronafto[1,2-b]furan-2,7(6H,9bH)dione (12) (100% in acetonitrile), 10&#945;-acetoxy-3-oxo-1,7&#945;H,6,11&#946;H-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (8) (26% in acetic acid), 10&#945;-hydroxy-3-oxo-1,7&#945;H,6,11&#946;H-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (10) (32%) and (E)-3-((3S,3aS,7aS)-3-methyl-2-oxo-6-(propan-2-ylidene)hexahydrobenzofuran-7-(7aH)-ylidene)propanoic acid (9) (44%) (in water/ acetic acid 1:1, v/v). Lactone 12 was also prepared by irradiation of lumisantonin in diethyl ether. Lactones 8 and 10 were converted, respectively, into the 10&#945;-acetoxy-3&#946;-hydroxy-1,7&#945;H,6,11&#946;H-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (13) (87%) and 3&#946;,10&#945;-dihydroxy-1,7&#945;H,6,11&#946;H-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (14) (75%) by sodium borohydride reduction. The effects of the compounds on the development of radicle of Sorghum bicolor and Cucumis sativus were evaluated.
