Synthesis of β-nitro-isoeugenol

Hello chemists!

I've been reading a lot about eugenol, but I just can't find out how to synthesize β-nitro-isoeugenol. I have not been able to find the structure of it, and It doesn't seem to follow IUPAC rules.

Any one have any ideas of what compound it is, and where the double bond is located?

Drugs are awesome and all but people here aren't going to readily participate in helping you make drugs. That compound doesn't need to follow IUPAC. Find the beta carbon on isoeugenol and attach NO2. Beta-nitro-isoeugenol. What double bond?
