A Microscale Comprehensive Organic Experiment:Extraction and Isomerization of Eugenol from Lilac
A new comprehensive experiment of organic chemistry on the extraction of eugenol from the natural prod-uct lilac is introduced in this paper.Eugenol,an important raw material,was extracted from lilac by steam distillation.I-soeugenol was obtained by isomerization of the extracted product under catalytic conditions,and the structure of the prod-uct was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectrometer and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer.The ex-periment not only examined the basic experimental operations such as distillation,extraction,washing and drying,but al-so inspected the use of large-scale analytical instruments,which is of great significance to improve students'comprehen-sive experimental skills and management ability.
