3-Methyl-2,4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane and 7-hydroxy-3-methyl-2, 4-dioxabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane were synthesized by the
method of Croxall, Glavis and Neher, although in low yields.
The structure of both compounds was proven by analytical
methods and analysis of their spectral properties.
Tentative configuration of C-3 in both compounds was
assigned on the assumption...
Agriculture is now facing the ‘perfect storm’ of climate change, increasing costs of fertilizer and rising food demands from a larger and wealthier human population. These factors point to a global food deficit unless the efficiency and resilience of crop production is increased. The intensification of agriculture has focused on...
