Abstract

The minor ecdysteroid 3- epi-2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone (3- epi-2-D-20-ECD) has been partially synthesized from 20-hydroxyecdysone. 2-D-5α-20-ECD and the 3-dehydro analogues, 3-dehydro-2-D-20-ECD and 3-dehydro-2-D-5α-20-ECD, have also been synthesized. Moulting hormone activity of these compounds has been studied using the Musca bioassay.
