Eucalyptus is one of the forest crops widely used in commercial reforestation. It represents a renewable source of fibers, energy and pharmaceutical products. Phenolic compounds are phytochemicals that make up the secondary metabolism of plants. They are natural antioxidants and have fungicidal and insecticidal action and with pharmacological power for antimelanotic, antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral activity. The present work aimed to quantify the phenolic compounds in 40 different eucalyptus clones, thus making it possible to identify which clone (s) are more likely to extract drugs based on phenolic compounds. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, with 40 eucalyptus clones and three replications. The eucalyptus leaves were removed from the experimental area of the Federal Goiano Institute - Campus Morrinhos. The content of total phenolic compounds was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau method. Were found significant difference in the amount of phenolic compounds among the 40 clones evaluated. The clones evaluated in this study can be considered as good sources of phenolic compounds. The clones that most concentrated phenolic compounds were AS 035; AS 029; AS 052 and AS 021.
