Juvenile Hormone B 3 is a sesquiterpenoid produced by the larval ring gland and adult corpus allatum (CA) of Drosophila melanogaster. Juvenile hormones regulate development, reproduction, diapause, and polyphenisms.||Synonyms:|(2E)-5-[(2S,3S)-3-[2-[(2R)-3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxiranyl]ethyl]-3-methyl-2-oxiranyl]-3-methyl-2-pentenoic Acid Methyl Ester; (2E)-5-[(2S,3S)-3-[2-[(2R)-3,3-Dimethyloxiranyl]ethyl]-3-methyloxiranyl]-3-methyl-2-pentenoic Acid Methyl Ester; [2S-[2α(E),3β(S*)]]-5-[3-[2-(3,3-Dimethyloxiranyl)ethyl]-3-methyloxiranyl]-3-methyl-2-pentenoic Acid Methyl Ester; Methyl 6,7:10,11-Bis(epoxy)farnesoate||CAS No:|120293-93-8||Molecular Formula:|C₁₆H₂₆O₄||Molecular Weight:|282.38||Appearance:|Colorless to yellow, clear oil||Solubility:|Chloroform (Slightly), Ethyl Acetate (Slightly)||Method for Determining Identity:|Proton NMR and Mass Spectrometric Analysis||Atmosphere:|Inert||Storage and Stability:|Store at -20°C under an atmosphere of inert gas.
