Abstract
A series of 3-(1-alkylaminoalkylidene)-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2,4(3H)-diones was newly synthe-sized, and they were assayed as photosynthetic electron transport (PET) inhibitors because of their structural resemblance to cyanoacrylates and 2-alkylaminoalkylidene-1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives, which are potent PET inhibitors. Some of the compounds synthesized here showed very high PET inhibition.
