Abstract

The structure of osthole has been modified to improve its larvicidal activity against mosquitoes. A new efficient synthesis of osthole derivatives with Grignard reagents has been developed, which employs CuI and LiCl as promoters and covers a broad range of substrates to afford the corresponding products in mild to good yields (up to 83%). Bio-activity evaluation showed that several products exhibited better activities than osthole.
