purpose
The main uses of isoeugenol methyl ether are concentrated in the spice industry and scientific research fields:
Food and daily chemical essence: as a permitted food flavor (GB 2760-1996), it is widely used to prepare vanilla, berry, spice, oriental, woody essence, and is an important fixative for carnation, rose, lilac, ylang and other flower flavor essence.
Tobacco and food industry: used in tobacco essence, vanilla beans, chocolate and other edible essence as a spice coordination agent.
Research and Standards: As a reference standard for traditional Chinese medicine and a standard for drug impurities, it is used for scientific research such as content determination, pharmacological experiments, and structural identification.

synthetic route
Isoeugenol methyl ether is mainly prepared through the methylation reaction of isoeugenol
Main method: Mix isoeugenol with potassium hydroxide solution, add dimethyl sulfate under stirring, and perform O-methylation reaction. The resulting oil layer is purified by distillation to obtain isoeugenol methyl ether.
Other ways: It can be obtained through the synthetic route of 1,2-dimethoxy-4-propenylbenzene, with raw materials including veratrol, propenyl reagents, etc., which are completed through condensation, methylation and other steps
