Synthesis of Pyridyl Terpenoid Ether Analogs of Juvenile Hormone

“…The synthetic aspect of the work is recorded here, while a part of the biological results has already been published by us. 4 ) The parent compound reported by Soli et al was 6,7-epoxy-3,7-dimethyloct-2-enyl 2-ethyl-5-pyridyl ether 1.1) For the lengthening of the carbon chain, or in other words for the preparation of homologs of geranyl halide, we adopted two procedures as described below and obtained five new JH mimics 2a ~ 2e.…”
