3-Isobutyroxy-β-ionone (III) is the proposed structure of quiesone, the naturally occurring inhibitor of the germination of Peronospora tabacina conidia. This was synthesized as a racemate and shown to possess qualitatively identical biological activity as quiesone itself. Employing an intermediate of this synthesis, dl-dehydrovomifoliol (VII) was also synthesized.
