Application
Eugenol has a strong carnation musk smell and is the basis for the blending of health and fragrances. It is used in the blending of cosmetic, soap, edible and other fragrances. Eugenol has a strong bactericidal power and can be used as a local analgesic for caries, and also has a local antiseptic effect. Eugenol is an intermediate for some other spices. Its derivatives include isoeugenol, methyl eugenol, methyl isoeugenol, acetyl eugenol, acetyl eugenol, benzyl isoeugenol, etc. When eugenol is heated in potassium hydroxide, the double bond of the propenyl group rearranges and becomes an α-propenyl group conjugated with the benzene ring, thereby obtaining isoeugenol. After acetylation and mild oxidation, the α-propenyl group breaks, and vanillin is obtained, which is the main component of an important artificial flavoring agent. Eugenol can also be used to make isoniazid, a specific drug for the treatment of tuberculosis.
