ISOEUGENOL

ISOEUGENOL


(E)-2-Methoxy-4-(prop-1-enyl) phenol (isoeugenol 6): To 8.0 g of ethyleneglicol placed in a three-neck round-bottom flask of 100 mL are added 7.90 g of KOH (134 mmol), and submerged in a sand bath. To the mixture eugenol 5.0 g (30.5 mmol) is added and the system is refluxed at 160 °C for about approximately 5 hours; at this time the reaction is stopped. The excess of KOH is neutralized with 25 mL of a 6 mol L^-1 hydrochloric acid solution, the mixture is extracted with CHCl₃ (2 × 50 mL) and the organic phase is dried with anhydrous Na₂SO₄and the solvent evaporated under vacuum. After chromatographic column purification, 4.25 g of a brown oil was obtained (85%).
