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

Isolation of Eugenol from Cloves Abstract The experiment conducted‚ isolation of eugenol from cloves‚ is the extraction of the essential oil. To perform this experiment cloves and water were mixed together and heated by a heating mantle in a round-bottom flask. A direct stem distillation took place‚ and the oil product was out aside for a week. After one week‚ the isolation of the eugenol actually takes place. Next the thin-layer chromatographic analysis takes place‚ but the experiment

Edward Cross Organic Chemistry December 10‚ 2012 Title Steam Distillation of Cloves and Extraction of Eugenol Authors Edward J. Cross* Summary The isolation of Eugenol from Cloves begins with whole cloves and then using a steam distillation apparatus to obtain the cloves oil substance. Then with the mixtures of water and dichloromethane to form two immiscible layers. The layers were dichloromethane substance and aqueous The entire substances that are separated into two individual

Steam Distillation – Clove Oil Abstract: In this experiment‚ a situ method steam distillation was performed and essential oils were isolated from cloves. Once the oils were obtained‚ extraction techniques were used to extract a crude‚ eugenol‚ and acetyleugenol product sample. These samples were submitted for GC analysis and the normalization area percents were calculated to confirm their purity; for the crude sample it was 93.95% eugenol and 6.05% acetyleugenol‚ for the eugenol sample it

One major observation made throughout this experiment was during the steam distillation. As the steam distillation started and the solution in the flask began heating‚ it was clear that too much stopcock grease was used around the glassware. The grease from the connecting ends of the three way connecting tube was melting and seeping into the clove and water solution in the two necked round bottom flask. The solution in the flask was immediately discarded and repeated with clean glassware and a very

Isolation & 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

Experiment 4: Isolation of Essential Oils from Eugenol Background: Anyone who has walked through a forest or who enjoys the variety of fragrances that flowers have to offer knows that many plants and trees have their own distinctively pleasant odors. These odors are due to the volatile essential oils‚ many of which have been prized commodities since ancient times. If a list of commercially important essential oils was compiled the list would exceed 200 essential oils. Thyme‚ garlic‚ peppermint

Steam Distillation of Lemongrass Oil I. Introduction When a mixture of cyclohexane and toluene is distilled‚ the boiling point of these two miscible liquids is between the boiling points of each of the pure components. By contrast‚ if a mixture of benzene and water (Immiscible liquids) is distilled‚ the boiling point of the mixture will be found below the boiling point of each pure component. Since the two liquids are essentially insoluble in each other‚ the benzene molecules in a droplet of

Extraction of Eugenol from Cloves 02/01/2014 CHM2210L University of North Florida Abstract Eugenol is found in the essential oil of cloves and has distinct properties that make it an important product to both food and drug industries. (Bhimrao‚ et. al‚ 2004). To utilize many of eugenol’s characteristic properties‚ it is necessary to isolate this organic chemical from the other components of cloves. In this experiment‚ eugenol was isolated from a sample of cloves using a series of techniques

& 4 09/19/11 Objective: In steam distillation lab (lab 3)‚ we must obtain pure Eugenol from cloves through the process of steam distillation. In the crystallization lab (lab 4) part 1‚ we must acquire the best possible pure crystallization of acetylsalicylic acid from aspirin and in part 2 we must obtain a similar pure crystallization of benzil from an impure mixture of benzil. Materials: In lab 3‚ we used 75 g of cloves from which we must extract Eugenol. Water was largely used as a solvent
