Abstract
IT is known that dihydro- and tetrahydro-1-naphthoic acids have high plant growth activities1. With the view of testing the effect of substitutions on the activities of these acids, we synthesized chloro- and bromo-derivatives in the 5- and 8-positions of 1,4-dihydro, 3,4-dihydro- and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthoic acids and tested their activities in the pea straight-growth test2.
