Methyl eugenol Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

colourless to light yellow liquid

Occurrence

Reported in the essential oils of Myrtaceae and Luraceae; it was identifed originally in the essential oil from roots of Asarum europaeum L and Asarum canadense L Subsequently, it was identifed as the main constituent of the oil from wood of Dacrydium franklinii Hook (97 5%), in Melaleuca bracteata F v M (leaves, 90 to 95%), in Cinnamomum oliveri Bail (leaves, 90 to 95%), and as a minor constituent in the oils of betel, citronella, Japanese calamus, pimenta, hyacinth, rose, basil, bay, cajeput and others Reported found in heated blackberry, pepper, lovage seed, chervil, lemon balm, alpinia species, clove buds, nutmeg, pepper, mace, tarragon, Ocimum sanctum, laurel, myrtle leaf and berry, rosemary, pimento berry and mastic gum leaf oil

Uses

Methyl eugenol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:????????

  • Essential oil of Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purity of the extracted compound is then determined by gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector (GC/FID).???????
  • Stem bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with UV-visible detection.???????
  • Rosa hybrida using gas-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique.

Preparation

Usually prepared by methylation of eugenol.

General Description

Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid with a spicy earthy odor. Bitter burning taste.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Methyl eugenol is incompatible with strong oxidizers . May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas.

Hazard

Possible carcinogen.

Fire Hazard

Methyl eugenol is combustible.

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen. Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. A skin irritant. Mutation data reported. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Some other alkenylbenzenes have carcinogenic activity. See also EUGENOL, ALLYL COMPOUNDS, and ETHERS

Potential Exposure

Methyl eugenol is a naturally occurring substance found in the essential oils of several plant species. Methyleugenol is used as a flavoring agent in jellies, baked goods, nonalcoholic beverages, chewing gum, candy, pudding, relish, and ice cream. Methyleugenol has been used as an anesthetic in rodents. It also is used as an insect attractant in combination with insecticides.

Carcinogenicity

Methyleugenol is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenbased on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.

Solubility in organics

Soluble in alcohol and oils

Shipping

UN2810 Toxic liquids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise the ether from hexane at low temperature and redistil it (preferably in vacuo). [Hillmer & Schorning Z Phys Chem [A] 167 407 1934, Briner & Fliszár Helv Chim Acta 42 2063 1959, Beilstein 6 H 963, 6 IV 6337.]

Incompatibilities

Methyleugenol is Incompatible with strong oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Contact with reducing agents may cause the release of hydrogen gas

Waste Disposal

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
