Uses
Other comments :
Methyl Eugenol is one of the 26 allergens in perfumery.
It has a less floral smell than Methyl Isoeugenol.
Stability :
Becomes red under the effect of light. This raw material is not convenient in every functional base : can't be used in a candle or shower gel base.
Uses in perfumery :
Methyl Eugenol is used in rosy floral notes, carnation, lilac, jasmine, hyacinth and other heady flowers. Useful in a chocolate or coffee note.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Isomerism :
Methyl Isoeugenol is a position isomer of Methyl Eugenol. Their smell is different : Methyl Isoeugenol is more floral, reminiscent of Tuberose Absolute, while Methyl Eugenol is more spicy. Both are keeping an earthy and wet facet, more noticeable for Methyl Eugenol. Canthoxal® is an isomer of Methyl Eugenol. Its smell is however radically different, as it is marine and aldehydic.
Synthesis precursor :
Methyl Eugenol is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Natural availability :
Methyl Eugenol is present in the Bay St-Thomas EO, Tuberose Absolute and Angelica Root EO among others, Methyl Eugenol can be extracted from these plants in its natural state.
Synthesis route :
Methyl Eugenol is obtained synthetically from Eugenol by a methylation reaction. This etherification reaction is made by a Williamson synthesis, which consists in forming a sodium alkoxide in the presence of pure sodium in the reaction medium, and then reacting the obtained eugenolate with methyl chloride.
