C. In the extraction of eugenol from clove oil, you used NaOH(aq) to extract the eugenol into the aqueous layer from the cyclohexane layer. Why does this allow the eugenol to be soluble in the aqueous layer? Draw the mechanism for the reaction that is occurring at that step. In a subsequent step, you acidified the aqueous layer and the extracted the eugenol back into an organic layer. Draw the mechanism for the reaction that is occurring at that step. You can use hydronium ion for the acidic reagent in the mechanism.
