Analysis and purification of eugenol.
The purity of several brands of eugenol was compared by using high performance liquid chromatography with a UV detector. Greater than 95% of the impurities seen in the USP eugenols were removed by preparative liquid chromatography. NMR spectroscopy suggests that there may be a difference in chemical reactivity between purified and stock eugenol.
