Abstract

Abstract The invention is a novel class of phthalimido derivatives represented by a formula: ##SPC1## Or ##SPC2## Wherein W is hydrogen or alkyl C 1 -C 4 ; X and X' each represent hydrogen, halogen, alkyl C 1 -C 4 , CF 3 , alkoxy(C 1 -C 4 ), benzyloxy, di(C 1 -C 4 )alkylamino, C 1 -C 4 alkylthio, hydroxy, C 1 -C 4 alkylsulfonyl, alkanoylamino C 1 -C 4 or nitro; Y is --COOR 3 , --CONHR 8 , --CONR 3 R 4 , --CONHN(R 5 ) 2 , --CONHN + (R 6 ) 3 . halide - , --CN or --COR 7 with the proviso that at least one of X and X' is a substituent other than hydrogen; R 1 and R 2 each represent alkyl C 1 -C 4 or when taken together with the carbon to which they are attached form cycloalkyl C 4 -C 11 optionally substituted with methyl; R 3 and R 4 each represent hydrogen or alkyl C 1 -C 4 ; R 5 and R 6 each represent alkyl C 1 -C 2 ; R 7 is halogen and R 8 is --CH 3 or ##SPC3## Where Z and Z' are hydrogen, alkyl C 1 -C 2 , halogen, --CF 3 or --OCH 3 , is a single or double bond with the proviso that there be only 0 or 1 double bond in the ring and a method for regulating the growth of plants with these compounds and with compounds having the above structure wherein X and X' each represent hydrogen.
