Abstract: 6-alyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine and 4-alyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-2-methoxy phenol
compounds have been synthesized through the Mannich reaction. The 6-alyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-
benzoxazine compound was synthesized by reacting eugenol, 37% formaldehyde, and propylamine under
conditions of reflux with ethanol solvents at 78ºC for 6 hours obtained compounds of 6,116 grams
(82.54%). The formation of 6-alyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound characterized by FT-IR
obtained CN stretching vibration at wave number 1242.16 cm-1 and peak molecular ion m/e 247 through
GC-MS analysis. The 4-alyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-2-methoxy phenol compound was synthesized by
reacting eugenol, 37% formaldehyde, and 40% dimethylamine under reflux conditions with ethanol solvents
at 78ºC for 90 minutes and obtained compounds of 5,728 grams (86.39%). 4-alyl-6- (dimethylamino)
methyl-2-methoxy phenol compound characterized by FT-IR obtained CN and OH stretch vibrations at
wave numbers 1242.16 cm-1 and 3410.15 cm-1 and molecular ion peaks m/e 221 through GC-MS analysis.
Then the two antibacterial activity tests were carried out on the two compounds using Streptococcus mutans
and Escherichia coli bacteria with various concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The results obtained
showed that the 6-alyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine and 4-alyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-2-
methoxy phenol compounds were classified as strong antibacterial.
1 INTRODUCTION
Eugenol is a phenolic compound that has several
functional groups such as allyl, hydroxide and
methoxy. With the existence of these functional
groups, the compound eugenol can be transformed
into a number of useful derivative compounds or to
be the basic material for the manufacture of other
compounds.
Some eugenol derivatives that have been carried
out are alkylation, addition, isomerization,
acetylation, esterification, polymerization, monoeter
cyclization and so on (Suryanto, 2008). Perangin-
angin (2019) have synthesized of 4-alil-6-
(hidroxymethyl)-2-methoxy phenol compounds from
eugenol through Mannich reaction followed
methylation with methyl iodide and substitution
using NaOH.
Eugenol is a class of phenylpropanoid chemical
compounds that have the potential for local
anesthetics that have been used medically by
dentists. There are phenol functional groups that
have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic,
antithrombotic, antimicrobial and antineoplastic
activities (Soekardjo, 2000).
This ability is obtained from the lipophilic nature
of eugenol which can cause bacterial cell
membranes to undergo adhesion which causes
inhibited bacterial respiration. This will cause
disruption of ion transport in cells so that bacteria
experience death. In addition, phenol groups
contained in eugenol when attached to bacterial cells
will make bacteria undergo lysis, then die (Kumala,
2008).
Karanov et al. (1995) have synthesized eugenol
derivatives using formaldehyde and various types of
amines through the Mannich reaction. The new
compound formed is 2-methoxy-4- (2-propenyl) -6-
phenol-substituted aminomethyl derivative at
position 6 of eugenol which is known to have
activity as a plant growth regulator and pesticide.

One example of a compound that has been
synthesized is 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-2-
methoxyphenol. The compound 4-allyl-6-
(dimethylamino) methyl-2-methoxyphenol can be
synthesized by reacting eugenol, dimethylamine, and
formaldehyde through the Mannich reaction.
Mannich reaction is a condensation reaction of
ammonia or primary amine or secondary amine and
formaldehyde with compounds containing acidic H
atoms bound to C or N atoms. In the Mannich
reaction, aldehyde condensation with ammonia or
primary amines or secondary amines will form the
Schiff base as an intermediate product.
The final product of the Mannich reaction is the
β-amino-carbonyl compound or the Mannich base
(Pine et al., 1988). Rudyanto et al. (2014)
synthesized benzoxazine and aminomethyl
compounds from eugenol and studied their
biological activity. Eugenol is reacted with
formaldehyde and methylamine following the
Mannich reaction. The benzoxazine compounds
obtained are then hydrolyzed to produce
aminomethyl derivatives. Furthermore, the
benzoxazine and aminomethyl compounds obtained
were tested for their biological activity using the
Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT), which is
testing the toxicity of a compound against Artemia
salina larvae.
Antibacterial activity test can be done by
diffusion and dilution methods. Disc diffusion test or
disk diffusion test is done by measuring the diameter
of the clear zone (clear zone) which is an indication
of the inhibitory response of bacterial growth by an
antibacterial compound in the extract. Requirements
for the number of bacteria for sensitivity test are
105-108 CFU / mL (Hermawan, 2007).
The diffusion method can be done in 3 ways
namely the cylinder method, the hole method and
the paper disc method. The hole method is to make a
hole in a solid agar that has been inoculated with
bacteria. The number and location of the holes are
adjusted to the purpose of the study, then the holes
are injected with the extract to be tested. After
incubation, bacterial growth was observed to see the
presence or absence of barriers around the hole
(Kusmayati, 2007).
Based on the above background, researchers are
interested in synthesizing benzoxazine and
aminomethyl compounds from eugenol through the
Mannich reaction using primary amines and
secondary amines to test their antibacterial activity.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Synthesis of 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-
propyl-1,3-benzoxazine
Compounds
Eugenol used in this study is eugenol p.a E'Merck
with a purity level of ≥99%. The 6-allyl-8-methoxy-
3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound obtained in the
form of a mixture of 6.116 grams (82.54%), in the
form of a blackish-brown liquid.
FT-IR spectroscopic data of 6-allyl-8-methoxy-
3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound gives a
spectrum with vibrational peaks in the region of
wave number 3070.68 cm-1; 2947.23 cm-1; 2831.50
cm-1; 1597.06 cm-1; 1458.18 cm-1; 1242.16 cm-1;
1149.57 cm-1; 987.55 cm-1. The results of FT-IR
analysis of 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-
benzoxazine compounds can be seen in Figure 1.
Figure 1: FT-IR of 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-
benzoxazine compound.
The spectrum shown from FT-IR data supports
that the compound 6-ally-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-
benzoxazine has a CN bond originating from the
benzoxazine group with the appearance of CN
stretching vibrations at wave number 1242,16 cm-1.
The absorption peak at wave number 3070.68 cm-1
shows the range of CH sp2, and the area of 2947.23
cm-1 and 2831.50 cm-1 shows the range of CH sp3
of alkyl which is reinforced by the peak at 1458.18
cm-1 for the group methylene (CH2―) and C = C
aromatic are shown at wave number 1597.06 cm-1.
The vinyl group is shown at 987.55 cm-1. The peak
at 1149.57 cm-1 shows the stretch C-O-C of the
ether.
The 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine
compound is obtained from eugenol through the
Mannich reaction, where eugenol is reacted with
iminium ions which were previously formed through
the reaction between formaldehyde and propylamine.
In the Mannich reaction of eugenol, the active
hydrogen from eugenol is replaced by the
propylaminomethyl group as an iminium ion. Then
the active nitrogen from the propylaminomethyl
group attacks the aluminum ion again to form an
oxazine ring by releasing propylamine. The Mannich
reaction was carried out under reflux conditions at a
temperature of 78 ° C for 6 hours using ethanol
solvent. The results of the eugenol, formaldehyde and
propylamine reactions produce 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-
propyl-1,3-benzoxazine derivatives.
The mechanism of the 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-
propyl-1,3-benzoxazine reaction can be seen in
Figure 2.

Data on antibacterial activity test results showed
that there were antibacterial activities for both
Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli bacteria
in 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine and
4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-compound 2-
methoxy phenol. This is because the 6-allyl-8-
methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound and
the 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-2-methoxy
phenol compound have a nitrogenous base group.
This base group will react with amino acids that
make up the cell wall and bacterial DNA which are
the main constituents of the cell nucleus. This
reaction results in changes in the structure and
composition of amino acids that cause changes in
genetic balance so that the bacterial DNA will be
damaged. Cell damage to bacteria will eventually
make the bacteria unable to metabolize so that it will
also undergo lysis. Thus, the bacteria will become
inactive and destroyed (Gunawan, 2008).
In the antibacterial activity test of 6-allyl-8-
methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound
against Streptococcus mutans, the antibacterial
activity is stronger than eugenol. This is shown by
the highest clear zone diameter at concentrations of
20% and 30%, which is 33 mm while in eugenol the
highest clear zone diameter is 18 mm at a
concentration of 10%.
In the antibacterial activity test of 6-allyl-8-
methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound
against Escherichia coli, the highest clear zone
diameter at concentrations of 10% and 20% is 21
mm and has decreased at a concentration of 30%
that is equal to 14 mm. In the antibacterial activity
test of 4-allyl-6- (dimethilamino) methyl-2-methoxy
phenol compound against Streptococcus mutans the
highest clear zone diameter was obtained at a
concentration of 20% at 19 mm and decreased at a
concentration of 30% at 17 mm, whereas, against
Escherichia coli the highest clear zone diameter at a
concentration of 10% is 18 mm and has decreased at
20% and 30% that is 16 mm and 14 mm.
Based on the test results of antibacterial activity
against bacteria Streptococcus mutans and
Escherichia coli obtained inhibitory zone diameters

that have fluctuated and not proportional to the
concentration of the compound.
Elifah (2010) suggested that the diameter of the
inhibition zone does not always increase in
proportion to the increase in antibacterial
concentration. This can occur because of differences
in the speed of diffusion of antibacterial compounds
on agar media. Different types and concentrations of
antibacterial compounds give different inhibitory
zone diameters for a certain period of time.
Irregularity in the diameter of the zone of inhibition
of the growth of test bacteria is at the time of
unequal disk drying. Therefore, it causes a inhibitory
zone at the highest concentration to decrease. Disk
which has long drying time, when it is placed on top
of the bacterial hatching media, the area of the
inhibitory zone is small, this zone is formed from
extracts diffused from the disk to the agar media. On
disks with only a short drying time, when placed on
top of the bacterial hatchery media, the extract
which is still attached immediately spreads around
the disk and quickly diffuses to the media so as to
form a larger inhibitory zone.
Sinarsih (2016) suggests that the presence of
unstable antibacterial performance at high
concentrations is likely due to compounds in general
having a limited ability in bioactivity. So that at
increasing concentrations certain compounds do not
provide a significant increase in response or not
significantly different.
The strength of antibacterial activity can be seen
from the inhibitory zone formed. According to
(Aleksandra et al., 2017) said that antibacterial
activity was classified to be 3 groups. There were
strong that produced inhibition zone diameter at 8
mm, medium activity that produced inhibition zone
at 7-8 mm, while weak activity that produced
inhibition zone diameter less than 7 mm. Thus 6-
allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine
compound and 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-2-
methoxy phenol compounds have relatively strong
antibacterial activity.
4 CONCLUSION
Synthesis of 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-
benzoxazine compound obtained from eugenol
through the Mannich reaction, where eugenol is
reacted with iminium ions which were previously
formed through the reaction between formaldehyde
and propylamine. The results obtained were 6.116
grams (82.54%) compound of 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-
propyl-1,3-benzoxazine. The formation of 6-allyl-8-
methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine compound is
characterized by the appearance of C-N stretching
vibrations at wave number 1242.16 cm-1
Synthesis of 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino) methyl-
2-methoxy phenol compound obtained from eugenol
through the Mannich reaction, where eugenol is
reacted with iminium ions which were previously
formed through the reaction between formaldehyde
and dimethylamine. The results obtained were 5,728
grams (86.39%) of the 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino)
compound methyl-2-methoxy phenol. The formation
of 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino) compound methyl-2-
methoxy phenol is characterized by the appearance
of C-N stretching vibrations at wave number
1242.16 cm-1 and O-H vibrations at wave number
3410.15 cm-1
The 6-allyl-8-methoxy-3-propyl-1,3-benzoxazine
compound and the 4-allyl-6- (dimethylamino)
methyl-2-methoxy phenol compound exhibit
antibacterial activity that is classified as strong
against S. mutans and E bacteria .coli. This is
indicated by the diameter of the clear zone produced
which is more than 8 mm so that both compounds act
as antibacterials that are classified as strong.
