Bromination of 4‐methyl‐2 H ‐1‐benzothiopyran‐2‐ones (4‐methylthiocoumarins) with bromine under irradiation of high‐pressure mercury lamp gave 3‐bromo‐4‐methylthiocoumarin, which reacted with secondary amine to give 4‐(aminomethyl)thiocoumarins. The structure was determined by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. A series of 4‐methylthiocoumarin and related compounds were tested for insecticidal activity, and 4,6‐dimethylthiocoumarin shows the most significant insecticidal activity against Nilaparvata lugens and Aphis gossypii . An introduction of an aminomethyl group in thiocoumarin results in improvement of activity against Tetranychus urticae and Spodoptera litura .
