Abstract
3 -Methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one 1 was recently identified as the key agent in smoke, responsible for promoting the seed germination of a diverse range of fire-dependent and fire-independent plant species from around the world. The synthesis of this novel compound, obtained in three steps from pyromeconic acid, is described. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
