Eugenitin is a furanochromone, a type of polyphenolic compound found in cloves. It has also been isolated from the fungal species Cylindrocarpon sp. C.M.I. 127996[1].

Synthesis

Eugenitin has also synthetised using the Kostanecki sodium acetate-acetic anhydride cyclization of C-methylphloracetophenone in 1952[2] and from visnagin, khellin and khellol in 1953[3].
