The nostoclides belong to a class of natural compounds called γ-alkylidenebutenolides that have several representatives with biological application. To contribute to the study of this class of compounds, this present work aimed to synthesize new butenolides analogous to the nostoclides from furan-2 (5H)-one [8] and evaluate the phytotoxic activity of theses compounds on the development of sorghum and cucumber root growing. For the synthesis of the analogues to the nostoclides, the furan-2(5H)-one was converted in the compound 2-furyl-N,N,N',N'-tetraethyldiamide-phosphate that treated with 3-chlorobenzyl bromide resulted in the formation of the intermediary 3-(3-chlorobenzyl)furan-2(5H)-one [15]. The aldolic addition reaction between the lactone [15] and various aromatic aldehydes with subsequent elimination reaction provided the achievement of the following analogous to the nostoclides: (5Z)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-(3,4- methylenedioxybenzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one [17], (5Z)-3-(3- chlorobenzyl)-5-(4-fluorobenzylidene)furan-2(5H)one [18], (5Z)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-(4-bromobenzylidene)furan-2(5H)- one [19], (5Z)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-(2- bromobenzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one [20], (5Z)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-(4-trifluormethylbenzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one [21], (5Z)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-(2,5-dimethoxybenzylidene) furan-2(5H)-one [22], (5E)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-(2,4,6- trimethoxybenzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one [23], (5Z)-3-(3- chlorobenzyl)-5-(3-nitrobenzylidene)furan-2(5H)-one [24], (5Z)-3-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-benzylidenefuran-2(5H)-one [25]. The nine news synthesized compounds were submitted to the evaluation of the herbicide activity, in concentrations of 10 and 100 ppm, using cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) as test plants in Petri dishes. All the compounds were active, inhibiting the root system of the seeds of sorghum in two concentrations. By the statistical analysis, in the concentration of 10 ppm, the presence of substituents in the benzylidene group in the compounds [17], [18], [20], [22], [23] and [24] showed less herbicide activity than the compound [25], not replaced. The phytotoxic activity was not dependent on the presence of substituents groups in the compounds [19] and [21], since the results did not differ statistically between themselves, compared to the compound [25], not replaced. For the test using cucumber seeds, the compounds [17] and [23], in the concentration of 100 ppm, showed a contrary action, stimulating the root growth of that culture. The same behavior was observed for the compounds [23] and [24], in the concentration of 10 ppm. Among the tested substances, the one that showed greater inhibition to the sorghum culture was the compound [17] with percentage of inhibition of 70.7% (10 ppm) and 75.8% (100 ppm) and to the cucumber culture the compound [19] was the one that presented greater percentage of inhibition, 41.9% (10 ppm) and 41.1% (100 ppm).
