Abstract

Abstract The cyclic analogue rac-14b of JH-III and its 2Z isomer rac-14a were obtained by a multi-step synthesis starting from rac-α-terpineol. The Wadsworth-Emmons reaction was applied to the formation of the carbon chain and to the introduction of the ester function (esters 8a, b and 13a, b). Morphogenetic activities of the cyclic juvenoids were compared with those observed for their acyclic analogues.
