Popis: A high yield preparation procedure for the germination stimulant GR24 (2) is described. Improvements were introduced in the syntheses of the key building blocks 3 and 4. The tricyclic lactone 3 was prepared from indan-1-one in four steps. The major improvement was the introduction of the carboxymethyl function at the α-position of indan-1-one via an ethoxycarbonyl auxiliary group. The furanone moiety 4 was prepared in four steps in an overall yield of 75% using ethyl α-bromopropionate and oxirane as main starting materials []
