The methoxymethyl group of the 6-methoxy-2-methoxymethyl-3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1,4-benzodioxan-7-yl moiety of insecticidal lignans of Phryma was modified with several alkyl groups to evaluate the effect on activity of the substituents.The assay results make it evident that this activity was significantly modified by the chain length or bulkiness of the alkyl groups and that the oxygen atom of the methoxymethyl group was fairly important for enhancing the activity.
