Konversi Satu Tahap Eugenol Menjadi Metil Isoeugenol dengan Iradiasi Gelombang Mikro pada Kondisi Bebas Pelarut
ABSTRACT: A research on
conversion of eugenol to methyl isoeugenol via one-step reaction with microwave
irradiation has been carried out. Mixtures containing eugenol, sodium or
potassium carbonate as solid support, with or without sodium or potassium
hydroxide as base, with or without tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer
catalyst, with dimethyl sulfate as the methylating agent were irradiated in a
domestic microwave oven for 20 - 50 seconds. It was revealed that one-step
methylation and isomerization required combinations of sodium or potassium
hydroxide base and tetrabutylammonium bromide. Without combination of base and
TBAB only one product, i.e. methyl eugenol, was formed.
