Synthesis, Antimicrobial Activity and in silico Studies on Eugenol Eters
Abstract:
The results presented herein represent our continued study based on the modification of phenolic functionality in molecules originated from natural sources by acylation. A small focused library of nineteen eugenyl esters, with four of which are new compounds, is reported. All compounds were subjected to in vitro antimicrobial testing. In silico studies were carried out calculating physico-chemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties, providing more data as additional guidance for further research.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
