Abstract
The synthesis of compounds VIIIb,c,f,h and their plant growth-promoting activity is reported. These compounds differ from the previously described substances Ia-d by the absence of the 21-methyl group, this structural change resulting in a dramatic decrease in the growth-promoting activity.
