| Abstract: | Methyl dl-12-homo-10-trans-juvenate (III) was synthesized from farnesol (IV) in eight steps involving stereoselective conversion of the trans-terminal methyl group to an ethyl group. The product (III) was less active than dl-C17-Cecropia juvenile hormone on both Tenebrio molitor and Galleria mellonella. |
