Strigolactam derivatives and their use as plant growth regulators

摘要

Disclosed are strigolactam derivatives of formula (I) for example (3E)-1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-3-[(4-methyl-5-oxo-2H-furan-2-yl)oxymethylene]-4,8b-dihydro-3aH-indeno[1,2-b]pyrrol-2-one. Also disclosed are processes and intermediates for preparing them, to plant growth regulator compositions comprising them and to methods of using them for controlling the growth of plants and/or promoting the germination of seeds.
