Apples destined for export to Japan and South Korea are currently disinfested for codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), using methyl bromide fumigation. Restrictions and limitations imposed on the uses of methyl bromide have increased interest in developing alternative non-chemical quarantine treatments. It is imperative that the treatment is effective against codling mot...

In the South, most nursery managers have relied on methyl bromide for weed control in hardwood seedbeds. When methyl bromide is no longer available, handweeding times will likely increase unless management regimes adapt to the change. Some nursery managers will increase use of both sanitation practices and herbicides. Although several herbicides are registered for use on hardwoods, some can inj...

The reaction of 2-methyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline and zinc bromide in acetonitrile affords the title solvated salt, (C(10)H(10)NO)[ZnBr(2)(C(10)H(8)NO)]·CH(3)CN, in which the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by a N,O-chelating 2-methyl-quinolin-8-olate ligand and two bromide ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The cation is linked to the anion by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the quinolinium H atom...

The synthesis of racemic and enantiomerically pure N-p-methylbenzyl-3- and N-p-chlorobenzylbenzamidoquinuclidinium bromides (6-8 and 9-11, respectively) is described. These compounds were prepared from racemic or enantiomerically pure 3-benzamidoquinuclidines 3-5 using the appropriate quaternization reagents: p-methyl- benzyl bromide (1) and p-chlorobenzyl bromide (2).
