IlI. Preparation of Synthetic Eugenol (10 pts) Eugenol, the main component of clove oil, can be prepared from heating 2-allyl guaiacol (in the absence of oxygen) to temperatures>205 °C. In practice, however, it is most cost effective to extract eugenol from cloves, its natural source. Given a weight percentage of eugenol in cloves at-15%, calculate the minimum mass of cloves one needs to obtain 1.00 g of eugenol as product? Report your answer below. Show your work. A correct response with no justification (no work) will receive zero points. c. (10 pts) Isolation and purification of allyl guaiacol from this same experiment involves extraction with aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH(aa)) as opposed to pure, neutral water. In the space provided below, draw the structure of the component of the reaction mixture that is removed by these washes and then, next to it, explain why NaOH (vs. pure H20) is used for its removal. d.
