Abstract: This invention discloses a type of 1,8-bis(Schiff base)-p-menthane derivatives as well as their preparation method and applications. The reaction of 1,8-diamino-p-menthane with a substituted benzaldehyde was carried out in a polar organic solvent at 0° C.-75° C. for 1-48 h. After the completion of the reaction, part of the solvent was distilled off to perform recrystallization to get a 1,8-bis(Schiff base)-p-menthane derivative, whose pre-emergence herbicidal activity against ryegrass was determined by using the Petri dish seed germination method. The 1,8-bis(Schiff base)-p-menthane derivatives, obtained with this method in high yield and mild reaction conditions, have a good inhibitory effect on the growth of annual ryegrass, and low toxicity.
