Our synthesis involves three steps for building the C17 skeleton, permits the preparation of all eight possible pairs of isomers, and allows variations to be introduced at C-3, C-7, and C-11 of the juvenile hormone. Stereospecific syntheses, on the other hand, do not, of course, allow preparation of the other isomer pairs, nor can other substituents be introduced at all the positions named above.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
