Thiophene chemistry proved to be very interesting for several industrial branches. The thiophene moiety was found to have larvicidal action on mosquito larvae. Thiophene is present in the leaves of T. patula. It was extracted from leaves by solvent extraction and also by tissue culture. The results were analysed by Spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and larvicidal action.
