Synthesis of a Material with Juvenile Hormone Activity.

PB212109

Publication Date	1969
Personal Author	Law, J. H.
Page Count	5
Abstract	The invention relates to the synthesis of a material having juvenile hormone activity and relates more particularly to the production of a compound useful as a biological insecticide or ovicide. It is a primary object of this invention to provide for the production of a material with juvenile hormone activity, not only for Lepidoptera, but also for nearly all orders of insects. The basic objectives are realized by reacting farnesoic acid with hydrogen chloride gas in the presence of an alcohol, specifically, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and n-pentanol. Preferred procedures for this synthesis as well as various comparative test results and techniques for using the material synthesized according to this invention are given.
