Application

2(5H)-Furanone (γ-Crotonolactone) has been used in:
  • synthesis of (+)-L-733,060, (+)-CP-99,994 and (2S,3R)-3-hydroxypipecolic acid
  • synthesis of 5-substituted 2(5H) furanones (γ-butenolides) via direct aldol reaction with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by bifunctional aminothiourea and aminosquaramide organocatalysts
  • Michael addition reactions for synthesis of lignans
  • three-component Michael-Aldol reactions with an aldehyde anda thiolate or carbanion

General description

Chiral urea compounds catalyzed hetero-Michael addition reaction of 2(5H)-furanone (γ-crotonolactone) to pyrrolidine. The quorum sensing inhibition activity by 2(5H)-furanone was studied using bioindicator strains.

Strigolactones are plant hormones and rhizosphere signaling molecules with key roles in plant development, mycorrhizal fungal symbioses, and plant parasitism. Currently, sensitive, specific, and high-throughput methods of detecting strigolactones are limited. Here, we developed genetically encoded fluorescent strigolactone biosensors based
