2H-Furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one

CAS: 857054-03-6

Applications Forest fires are actually beneficial for ecosystems, provided they don’t happen too often. After a fire, plants germinate and grow incredibly fast. 2H-Furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one, KAR2, is a compound in smoke responsible for promoting the seed germination of a wide range of plant species. The researchers named the compounds “the karrikins”, for “karrik”, an aboriginal word for smoke.

2H-Furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one

CAS: 857054-03-6

2H-Furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one is a natural product that has been found in asteraceae, solanaceae, and tenuissima species. This compound has shown to have a variety of biological activities including antifungal, insecticidal, and herbicidal properties. It has also been used as an additive in horticultural crops to increase yield and in hydrophyllaceae species for its ornamental value. 2H-Furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one has been studied extensively as a potential treatment against cancer cells. However, it was found to be ineffective when tested on human tumor cell lines.
