Introduction: This experiment involves an extraction of a natural product using the techniques of steam distillation. The principle component of oil of cloves is an aromatic compound‚ which is identified by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Eugenol is widely used in dentistry‚ due to its analgesic‚ antiseptic balsamic qualities. It is ideal for curative for pulp hyperemia (the soft‚ sensitive substance underneath the enamel and dentine of a tooth) and pulp its. In dentistry eugenol is also used to

Steam distillation of cloves produced 0.53g of an oil which contained in its IR spectrum the functional groups O-H (at 3520 cm-1)‚ sp2 C-H (3080 – 3000 cm-1)‚ aliphatic C-H (2980 – 2940 cm-1)‚ and both alkene C=C (at 1640 cm-1) and aromatic C=C (at 1514 cm-1). The IR spectrum is attached to this report. These data are consistent with the structure of eugenol‚ shown in Figure 2 below: In addition‚ the IR of the product from the steam distillation of cloves closely corresponds with that of an

Identification of the Major Constituent of Clove Oil with Steam Distillation The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to isolate and characterize clove oil in order to understand how to isolate organic compounds with high boiling points‚ how to perform and interpret qualitative tests for organic compound functionality‚ and to continue to learn how to perform and interpret IR spectrometry. Steam distillation was used in order to prevent the organic compound from decomposing at temperatures approaching

and Identification of Eugenol: The Fragrant Component of Cloves *Adri‚ Kiersten Jayne R.‚ Aguinaldo‚ Samuel Jr. Group 2 Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas‚ España‚ Manila 1008 Abstract. In this experiment‚ the primary objective was to isolate eugenol from cloves. An amount of 30 grams of dried cloves and 300 mL of water was distilled over a flame for over 2 hours. The distillate underwent extraction with dichloromethane‚ water and sodium hydroxide. Concentrated

Isolation of Eugenol from Cloves by Steam Distillation and its Identification by Infrared Spectroscopy Eim A. Chemist CHEM 303 June 16‚ 2005 INTRODUCTION “Essential oils” are the volatile components associated with the aromas of many plants.1 In this experiment‚ the essential oil eugenol (the main component of oil of cloves) will be isolated from ground cloves using the technique of steam distillation‚ which is often used to isolate liquid natural products from plants.2 The principle

Being able to extract a compound or substance from a product or object will encourage us in being able to do the same in a similar manner with a tea solution. Extracting compounds is an important step in any kind of organic chemistry lab and will help us be better at accomplishing the experiment in a much faster and accurate rate than from before. Experimental To begin the experiment‚ a tea solution must be made by incorporating a tea bag into a beaker filled with almost boiling water and the
