First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A compound having one of the following formulae: wherein R 1 and R 2 are alkyl or aryl and R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different, wherein R 1 is alkyl or aryl, or wherein said alkyl is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl having C6-20 and wherein said aryl is an aromatic ring having C6-15. 2. A composition comprising a compound according to claim 1 and optionally a carrier. 3. A method of inhibiting an ethylene response in a plant, comprising applying to said plant an effective ethylene response-inhibiting amount of the compound according to claim 1 and optionally with a carrier. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein said plant is a crop in the field. 5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein said applying is carried out by contacting said plant with a gas of said compound or spraying said plant with a solution comprising said compound or contacting said plant with a solid comprising said compound. 6. A method of inhibiting abscission in a plant, comprising applying to the plant an effective abscission-inhibiting amount of a compound according to claim 1 and optionally with a carrier. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein said applying is carried out by contacting said plant with a gas of said compound or spraying said plant with a solution comprising said compound or contacting said plant with a solid comprising said compound. 8. A method of prolonging the life of a cut flower, comprising applying to the cut flower an effective life-prolonging amount of the compound according to claim 1 and optionally with a carrier. 9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said applying is carried out by contacting said cut flower with a gas of said compound or spraying said cut flower with a solution comprising said compound or contacting said cut flower with a solid comprising said compound. 10. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein said compound is 11. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein said compound is
