Explanation / Answer

2. Eugenol on reaction with,

Br2 : gives decolorisation of Br2 color, confirms presence of alkene linkage

KMnO4 : gives decolorisation of KMnO4 purple to brown MnO2 which confirms eugenol getting oxidized by KMnO4

FeCl3 : green-yellow color due to formation of phenol-FeCl2 complex. Confirms phenolic -OH group present

3. Reactions of eugenol and eugenol acerate are shown below

5. Order of compounds based on increasing polarity

eugenol acetate < eugenol < other
