 |  | EUGENOL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | Eugenyl acetate has a characteristic odor reminiscent of clove oil, with a burning, aromatic favor. |  | Chemical Properties | Eugenol Acetate occurs in clove
oil, together with eugenol. It is a crystalline solid (mp 29°C) or yellowish liquid
with a slightly fruity, clove odor. Eugenol acetate is prepared by acetylation of
eugenol with acetic anhydride and is used in floral compositions to accentuate
floral, spicy characters. |  | Occurrence | Reported found in the essential oils of Laurus nobilis, clove buds and leaves, cassia leaf and cinnamon leaf, root and bark |  | Uses | Eugenol Acetate is a constituent of Clove oil, an essential oil from the clove plant, Syzygium aromaticum. Clove oil is a natural analgaesic and antiseptic used primarily in dentistry for its main ingredient Eugenol. Clove oil can also be purchased in pharmacies over the counter, as a home remedy for dental pain relief, mainly toothache; it is also often found in the aromatherapy section of health food stores. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Acetyleugenol is a member of phenols and a benzoate ester. |  | Preparation | By direct acetylation of eugenol using acetic anhydride. |  | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |  | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by 
ingestion. A skin irritant. Combustible 
liquid. When heated to decomposition it 
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See 
also EUGENOL, ALLYL COMPOUNDS, 
and ESTERS. |
