A series of insect juvenile hormone analogs (juvenoids) was synthesized and studied. The basic skeleton of these juvenoids contains three rings and a short aliphatic subunit and bears two or three chiral centers (depending on the appropriate structure; see 6–9 ). The chiral center located in the 1,2‐diphenoxypropane subunit has the configuration ( RS ), ( R ) ( a series), or ( S ) ( b series). The juvenoids were subjected to a biological screening, the preliminary results of which are briefly described.
