Abstract

A single-crystal x-ray crystallographic study of a seed germination stimulant isolated from plant-derived smoke was presented. The stimulant, 3-methyl-3H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one, crystallized in monoclinic space group, with one molecule devoid of crystallographic symmetry comprising the asymmetric unit of the structure. The stimulant stimulates germination at levels as allow as 1 ppb in smoke-responsive species. The distances within the six-membered ring are symmetrical with the double bonds highly localized.
