Applications & Uses
Uses
α-Terthienyl was first recognized as a nematicidal constituent of marigolds, but in the presence of light, it is also highly toxic to larvae of several insect species, including mosquitoes. This electron donor thiophenederivative phototoxin is biosynthesized from polyacetylene precursors and appears to function as a photosensitizer catalyzing the formation of reactive oxygen species at the target site (25).
Uses
2,2'':5'',2''''-Terthiophene is a thiophene compound isolated from the roots of Echinops transiliensis, and was studied for its larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. 2,2'':5'',2''''-Terthiophene also showed inhibitory effects on dispersal ability of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus when used synergistically with certain antibiotics.
General Description
2,2′:5′,2′′-Terthiophene (TTh) may be prepared by nickel catalysed coupling reaction of grignard′s reagent derived from 2-bromothiophene and magnesium. It generates singlet oxygen. In nature, it is found in the floral extract of Tagetes minuta and Echinops grijisii. It is known to be toxic to mosquitoes. It also exihibits antifungal activity.
