Bagasse cellulose, an industrial waste byproduct of sugar production, was demonstrated to be a viable solid support for a solid-phase ionic oxidation catalyst enabling organic solvent-free aqueous reaction conditions and facile catalyst recovery. Bagasse cellulose-supported quaternary ammonium peroxyphosphotungstate was synthesized from bagasse cellulose-supported quaternary ammonium chloride, phosphotungstic acid, and hydrogen peroxide. The chemical structure of this material was characterized by SEM, XRD, FT-IR, XPS, and C NMR, revealing stability of the cellulose matrix to the catalyst loading conditions and effective dispersion of the acicular catalyst crystals throughout the matrix.

An efficient method for the synthesis of 1-isopropyl-4-isothiocyanato-4-methylcyclohex-1-ene has been developed with p-menth-3-en-1-amine as raw material. Next, a number of p-menth-3-en-1-amine thiourea derivatives (-) have been obtained from the reactions between 1-isopropyl-4-isothiocyanato-4-methylcyclohex-1-ene and cyclohexylamine or the reactions between p-menth-3-en-1-amine and different isothiocyanates. Then, the herbicidal activities of these compounds were evaluated.

A novel aziridine compound N-acetyl-1,2-azacyclo-p-menthane d was synthesised using turpentine as raw material and characterised by FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, ESI-MS and HRMS. The pre-emergence herbicidal activities of d and its synthetic intermediates cis- and trans-N,N'-diacetyl-p-menthane-1,8-diamine (b2 and b1) were determined. The result showed that d exhibited much higher herbicidal activities against annual ryegrass, Digitaria sanguinalis and Ixeris denticulate than b2 and b1.

p-Menth-3-en-1-amine, 4, and its Schiff base derivatives, 5a-l, were designed and synthesized. They were characterized by FT-IR, ESI-MS, HRMS, H NMR, and C NMR spectral analyses, and their pre-emergence herbicidal activities against ryegrass were evaluated. All of the compounds showed excellent herbicidal activity.
