Purpose:
Essence and spice: widely used as flavoring agent for food and daily chemical essence, it can improve the clove aroma, and is used in ylang, carnation, lilac, rose, lavender and other essence, and also used for eating essence (such as baked food, candy) and tobacco essence to provide ginger flavor.
Insect attractant: Can be used as a sexual attractant for citrus fruit flies.
Industrial application: As a modifier for eugenol and isoeugenol, it is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis
===============================================================================
Synthesis route: Methyl eugenol is mainly synthesized through the methylation reaction of eugenol.
