A method for directly preparing 1-methylcyclopropene in situ which inhibits the action of ethylene of accelerating the ripening process of plants, which comprises reacting a predetermined 1-methylcyclopropene precursor represented by the following Formula 2 or 3 with a base or fluoride anion material, and applying the 1-methylcyclopropene to plants:
- wherein
- Me is methyl;
- Et is ethyl;
- R1 is substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl;
- R2 is substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl;
- and
- X is OSO2T, in which T is substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl.
A compound represented by the following Formula 2, useful as a 1-MCP precursor which reacts with a base or a fluoride anion material to synthesize 1-MCP.
- wherein Me, R1, and X are defined as in Formula 1.
A compound represented by the following Formula 3, useful as a 1-MCP precursor which reacts with a base or a fluoride anion material to synthesize 1-MCP.
- wherein Me, Et, R2 and X are defined as in Formula 1.
