使用
Methyl eugenol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:????????
- Essential oil of Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purity of the extracted compound is then determined by gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector (GC/FID).???????
- Stem bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with UV-visible detection.???????
- Rosa hybrida using gas-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique.
-
製造方法
Usually prepared by methylation of eugenol.
-
一般的な説明
Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid with a spicy earthy odor. Bitter burning taste.
-
空気と水の反応
Insoluble in water.
-
反応プロフィール
Methyl eugenol is incompatible with strong oxidizers . May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas.
-
危険性
Possible carcinogen.
-
火災危険
Methyl eugenol is combustible.
-
安全性プロファイル
Confirmed carcinogen. Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. A skin irritant. Mutation data reported. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Some other alkenylbenzenes have carcinogenic activity. See also EUGENOL, ALLYL COMPOUNDS, and ETHERS

職業ばく露
Methyl eugenol is a naturally occurring substance found in the essential oils of several plant
species. Methyleugenol is used as a flavoring agent in jellies, baked goods, nonalcoholic beverages, chewing gum,
candy, pudding, relish, and ice cream. Methyleugenol has
been used as an anesthetic in rodents. It also is used as an
insect attractant in combination with insecticides.
-
発がん性
Methyleugenol is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenbased on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.

不和合性
Methyleugenol is Incompatible with
strong oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from
alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids,
epoxides. Contact with reducing agents may cause the
release of hydrogen gas
