Representatively substituted esters (3c–h) and amides (4a–l) of thujic acid (3a) were prepared using the acid chloride as intermediate and were screened for their insect repellent and attractant potential. N,N-Diethyl thujamide (4d) was found to be a highly active repellent of the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) as well as of other insect species.
