Structure-activity relationships in tetronic acids and their copper(II) complexes.

Abstract
3-Acyltetronic aci-s and their Cu complexes, which possess a tricarbonylmethane structure, were prepared and tested for antimicrobial [antibacterial] activity. 3-(1-Iminoalkyl)tetronic acids and their Cu complexes were prepared and tested for inhibitory activity towards chlorophyll development of [rice] plants. The 3-decanoyl group was essential for the appearance of the former activity and the 3-(1-imminoethyl) group for that of the latter.
