14C-Eugenol: I. Synthesis,Polymerization,and Use

Abstract

The mixture of eugenol and zinc oxide resulted in a lignin-like polymer; this was verified by spectroscopy. ¹⁴C-eugenol with high specific activity was synthesized and administered intraperitoneally to rats. ¹⁴C-eugenol was subsequently found in all tissues. Chromatography was used for separation and quantitation of this compound.
