Novel juvenoids of the 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)cyclohexan-1-one series

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19940770210

A series of insect juvenile hormone analogs (juvenoids) was synthesized and studied. The basic skeleton of these juvenoids contains three rings and a short aliphatic subunit and bears two or three chiral centers (depending on the appropriate structure; see 6-9). The chiral center located in the 1,2-diphenoxypropane subunit has the configuration (RS), (R) (a series), or (S) (b series). The juvenoids were subjected to a biological screening, the preliminary results of which are briefly described.
