Another common derivative of guaiacol is eugenol (YOO-jeh-nol). Like vanillin, eugenol has a chemical structure that is only slightly different from the chemical structure of guaiacol. However, this difference causes eugenol to have an intense, bitter flavor known as clove.
The models below show the chemical structures of guaiacol and eugenol.
Which statements correctly compare eugenol and guaiacol? Select all that apply.
The chemical structure of eugenol is based on the chemical structure of guaiacol.
Eugenol has a different flavor from guaiacol.
Eugenol contains a group of three carbon atoms and five hydrogen atoms that is not present in guaiacol.
Like guaiacol, eugenol contains a ring shape.

Answer

Select all four statements. All are correct: eugenol is a derivative of guaiacol, has a different flavor, contains an additional three-carbon, five-hydrogen group (–CH₂–CH=CH₂) in place of a hydrogen, and retains the ring structure found in guaiacol.
