“…One of the most accessible methods of functionalization of kojic acid is its transformation into bromo-or chlorokojic acid 11, with further replacement of the halogen atom by various nucleophiles such as thioureas [28][29][30][31][32][33], alkyl mercaptans [29,30,34], thiophenols [21,35], sodium arylsulfinates [36], alkali metal thiocyanates [36][37][38][39], S-glycosylisothiuronium salts [40], various mercaptoazoles [22,25,28,29,41], 2-mercaptopyrimidines [24,42], 2-mercaptoquinazolines [43,44], mono-and dithiophosphates [45,46]. Many of the compounds obtained in this way are of interest for agrochemistry as growth regulators and herbicides comparable in efficiency to Fluazifop-P [29], or as insecticides [45,46].…”
