The structure of orobanchol, a new germination stimulant isolated from red clover ( Trifolium pratense), was proposed as 2a (tentative absolute configuration) on the basis of GC-MS comparison of the natural product with synthetic (±)- 2a. The structure of orobanchol, a new germination stimulant, was...
