The presence of hydroxyl groups at the C4 and C7 positions in coumarin backbone has been proposed as a potential modification site for providing excellent bioactivity according to previous studies. A series of novel coumarin derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized by use of a complex catalytic system for a targeted modification at the above sites. These derivatives were assayed for nematicidal activity. As predicted, the derivatization enhanced the activity of the coumarins against five nematodes. Compounds 7b, 9a, 10c and 11c showed significant strong nematicidal broad spectrum activity against all tested nematodes. Compound 10c was the most effective with the lowest LC₅₀ values against Meloidogyne incognita (5.1 μmol/L), Ditylenchus destructor (3.7 μmol/L), Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (6.4 μmol/L), Bursaphelenchus B. xylophilus (2.5 μmol/L) and Aphelenchoides besseyi (3.1 μmol/L), respectively. A brief investigation on the structure–activity relationships (SAR) revealed that the targeted modification by a C7 hydroxyl was optimum compared with that of a C4 hydroxyl and that the coupling chain length was crucial for the nematicidal activity.
