This compound was further converted into 2-phenyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene (13) in 35.4% yield. The selective effect of compound (13) and its isomer 3-phenyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct -2-ene (1a) on the radicle growth of Sorghum bicolor L. (sorghum) and Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber) were evaluated. For both plants, compound 13 showed to be more potent than its isomer 1a.pdfporOpen Access[ 3+ 4] cycloadditionOxyallyl cationsHerbicidesArtigo
