General description

Isoeugenol belongs to the class of phenylpropenes, naturally occurring in the essential oils of plants. It can also be obtained from eugenol by isomerization. It has been used as a substrate in the preparation of vanillin via enzymatic transformation by lipoxygenase enzyme.

Application

Isoeugenol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in bioconversion broth using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (RP-HPLC-UV).
