A large number of juvenile hormone analogues (3 to 9) containing hydro
xamate function have been synthesized. Preliminary biological screenin
g investigations on one representative, (2,5-dioxo-3-aza-4-oxa-7-methy
loctanyl)oxybenzene (3a) reveal a positive juvenile hormonal activity
and chemosterilizing effect against potato tuber moth Phthorimaea oper
culella.
