Abstract

One of the more important responses in plants involves the elicitation of antimicrobial agents called phytoalexins. In some cases the elicitation event is triggered by oligomeric glucan units containing 8-1, s and 8-1, 3 linkages. Metal ion mediated cyclotrimerization of suitable 2-propynyl sugar precursors was investigated as a method to prepare potential structural analogues of these elicitor molecules. Thus, reaction of the 2-propynyl glucoside 4, using ...
