%X A novel synthetic strategy for obtainment of (¡À)-3-deoxyradicinin ( 2) is reported. This synthetic methodology is more efficient than those previously reported in the literature and also shows higher versatility towards the introduction of different side-chains at both C-7 and C-2. The obtained compound (¡À)- 2 shows phytotoxicity against the grass-weed buffelgrass comparable to that of the natural phytotoxin radicinin ( 1). Therefore, (¡À)- 2 can constitute a more practical synthetic alternative to 1 as bioherbicide for buffelgrass control. View Full-Tex
