Abstract
11,13-Dehydro -guaianolides, a particular type of sesquiterpene lactones, were synthesized from the commercially available α-santonin () using a facile strategy involving a high-yielding photochemical reaction. Natural products and from were synthesized in good yields. Specifically, compound was obtained in five steps with an overall yield of 17%. The sesquiterpene lactones were tested in the etiolated wheat coleoptile bioassay, and the most active compounds were assayed on standard target species. Guaianolide showed the highest phytotoxic activities when compared with the known herbicide Logran.
