Abstract

Twenty six juvenile hormone analogs with various molecular chain length were prepared and bioassayed using allatectornized 4 th instar larvae of Bombyx mori L. Among methyl or ethyl esters, the chain length of 17 atoms is the optimal for the high juvenile hormone activity on the silkworm.
