The scientific name of eugenol is 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol. The molecular formula is C10H12O2, and the molecular weight is 164.21. It is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid with a strong clove spicy aroma. Boiling point 253 °C, melting point -9.2~-9.1 °C, relative density d25251.053~1.064, refractive index nD201.538~1.542. Slightly soluble in water, miscible with alcohol, ether, chloroform, volatile oil, soluble in glacial acetic acid and caustic solution. In the air color gradually darkened and thickened, iron, zinc and other metal ions can urge it to oxidize, so the storage temperature should not exceed 25 °C, protected from light.
