Crystal structure of the diglycidyl ether of eugenol
The diepoxy monomer (DGE-Eu) was synthesized from eugenol by a three-step reaction. It consists of a 1,2,4-trisubstituted benzene ring substituted by diglycidyl ether, a methoxy group and a methyloxirane group. The three-membered oxirane rings are inclined to the benzene ring by 61.0 (3) and 27.9 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane.
