Abstract

TERPENE derivatives other than farnesol possess excellent juvenoid activity1. We have examined the effects of epoxidized and unepoxidized aromatic ethers of geraniol on yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum) and other insects. The compounds can be synthesized easily from commercial materials and are reasonably stable to sunlight and hydrolysis. We have investigated the relationship between their chemical structures and their biological activity in the yellow mealworm2.
