Isolation and Identification of Eugenol: The Fragrant Component of Cloves *Adri‚ Kiersten Jayne R.‚ Aguinaldo‚ Samuel Jr. Group 2 Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas‚ España‚ Manila 1008 Abstract. In this experiment‚ the primary objective was to isolate eugenol from cloves. An amount of 30 grams of dried cloves and 300 mL of water was distilled over a flame for over 2 hours. The distillate underwent extraction with dichloromethane‚ water and sodium hydroxide

Experiment 4: Isolation of Essential Oils from Eugenol Background: Anyone who has walked through a forest or who enjoys the variety of fragrances that flowers have to offer knows that many plants and trees have their own distinctively pleasant odors. These odors are due to the volatile essential oils‚ many of which have been prized commodities since ancient times. If a list of commercially important essential oils was compiled the list would exceed 200 essential oils. Thyme‚ garlic‚ peppermint

Clove oil contains two basic compounds: eugenol and acetyleugenol. As a result of Dalton’s Law and Raoult’s Law‚ both of these substances can be removed from the cloves with a steam distillation. Eugenol is polar due to the acidic hydroxyl (OH) group‚ but acetyleugenol is not polar. As a result‚ they can be separated by extraction from a 5% aqueous NaOH solution. Acetyleugenol will dissolve in the organic CH2Cl2 layer‚ while eugenol remains in the aqueous base layer as a phenoxide

2: Isolation of Eugenol from Cloves Background; Readings on Vapor pressure‚ Raoult’s Law from TRO: A mixture of the essential oils‚ eugenol and acetyleugenol‚ will be steam distilled from cloves. These compounds are isolated from aqueous distillate by extraction into dichloromethane. The dichloromethane solution is shaken with aqueous sodium hydroxide‚ which will react with eugenol‚ to yield the sodium salt of eugenol in the basic aqueous layer

Due to tests done by Dr Sinthusiri we have evidence that suggests house-flies will move away from areas that have eugenol sprayed into them. To make it non-harmful and easy to install‚ the eugenol will be dispersed in automatic canisters set to

These data are consistent with the structure of eugenol‚ shown in Figure 2 below: In addition‚ the IR of the product from the steam distillation of cloves closely corresponds with that of an authentic sample of eugenol shown in the lab text.9 Therefore‚ it can be concluded that the oil which was isolated from cloves is in fact‚ eugenol. 0.53 g of eugenol was recovered from 5 g of cloves. This corresponds to a percent recovery of 7.46%: Amt. Eugenol isolated 0.53 g % Recovery = ------------------------------

Cheryl Baclit Chem 234 Experiment 4: Steam Distillation Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to extract Eugenol from Cloves using steam distillation as a purification technique and to transfer Eugenol from the aqueous phase to the MeCl2 phase. With steam distillation‚ the boiling point of a mixture of immiscible liquids is lower than the boiling points of the individual components. Water from the steam is one of the components of an immiscible liquid mixture. The vapor pressures of
