Synthesis of 14C‐labeled 10,11‐epoxyfarnesyl diazoacetate, a potential photoaffinity labeling reagent for insect juvenile hormone binding proteins

Abstract
The synthesis of [14C]‐10,11‐Epoxy‐(2E,6E)‐farnesyl diazoacetate in one vessel, starting from [14C]‐glyoxylic acid, is described. This compound is useful as a potential photoaffinity labeling agent for juvenile hormone binding sites.
