Chemistry & Uses
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Eugenyl acetate is present in a relatively small amount in Ceylon Cinnamon EO (and other origins), Cinnamon Leaf EO, Clove Bud EO, Clove Leaf EO, in Bay St-Thomas EO and Laurel Bay EO among others. It can be extracted in its natural state from all these essential oils.
Isomerism :
Aldehyde C-16 and Aldehyde C-20 are constitutional isomers of Eugenyl acetate. However, their smell is quite different, as they are fruity rather than spicy.
Synthesis precursor :
Eugenyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Eugenyl acetate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Eugenol. The reaction is catalysed by the presence of a strong acid in a small quantity, such as concentrated sulfuric acid. For a better yield, the reaction may be done with acetic anhydride or chloroacetic acid instead of acetic acid.
Stability :
acetates may form acetic acid through time
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Other comments :
Comparing it with Eugenol, Eugenyl acetate has a more floral-jasmine facet and a smell closer to tobacco.
