Product Information
Eugenol is a phenylpropene, a type of chemical compound. It is found in many plants and has a sweet smell and flavor. Eugenol can be extracted from cloves, cinnamon, or nutmeg. It is used as an additive to flavour foods, especially sweets, and as a fragrance component in perfumes. Eugenol also has antitumor activity and is used in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as acetonitrile and butyronitrile.
Eugenol was first isolated by the French chemist Henri Braconnot in 1855. Eugenol can be synthesized from eugenol by oxidation with potassium dichromate followed by hydrolysis with sulfuric acid. This process yields acetic acid, which when heated with phosphoric acid forms acetyl chloride which reacts with benzene to produce phenylacetone. The phenylacetone then reacts with methanol to form eugenol via a Friedel-Crafts
