Abstract

A new and convenient non-stereoselective synthetic route to the C18-Cecropia juvenile hormone (as a stereoisomeric mixture) was developed. Employing this method, several juvenile hormone analogues with various alkyl groups at the terminal position were synthesized as stereoisomeric mixtures. Two analogues with two ethyl groups or n-propyl and methyl groups at the terminal position were more active than the C18-Cecropia juvenile hormone onTenebrio molitor and Tribolium castaneum.
