Abstract The main objective of this research was to find new method for the synthesis of nitro- eugenol. Nitro-eugenol is of considerable importance in the production of other fine chemicals such as amino-eugenol for further chemical synthesis and has also been reported to possess antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer properties. In an attempt to synthesize nitro-eugenol in high yield, some different nitration methods of eugenol have been applied ...
