Isoeugenol Production By Isomerization Reaction

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of isoeugenol production by isomerization reaction. The production of isoeugenol is initiated by processing clove leaf oil. Initially, oil extracted from clove leaf is treated with sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction results in the formation of eugenol at the end. Eugenol, on heating, undergoes isomerization and results in the formation of isoeugenol as the final product.

Top Producers of Isoeugenol

• Jiangxi Zhonghuan New Material
• Van Aroma
• Chongqing Thrive Fine Chemicals
• Xiamen Zhongnong Kehua New Material
• Natura Aromatik

Feedstock for Isoeugenol

Isoeugenol is an organic chemical compound derived from eugenol that serves as its primary feedstock. The procurement of isoeugenol is dependent upon several factors. Some of the prominent factors include the availability and production cost of its raw materials (including clove leaf oil, used to produce eugenol), variations in its market prices, logistics, and governmental policies, etc. Moreover, other factors such as its demand as a flavoring agent in perfumery, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries, regions with the availability of clove, a raw material for eugenol (including Indonesia and Madagascar, etc.), trading and transportation activities, have a significant impact on its overall procurement processes.
