We synthesized all of the monomethoxycoumarins, 5-alkoxycoumarins and their derivatives, and investigated their nematicidal activity against the phytopathogenic nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Among the compounds, 5-ethoxycoumarin showed the highest nematicidal activity. Furthermore, 5-ethoxycoumarin was comparatively harmless against both the brine shrimps, Artemia salina, and the Japanese killifish, Oryzias latipes.
