Yellowish liquid to solid; fruity orange leaf-type aroma.
N,N-DIMETHYLANTHRANILIC ACID METHYL ESTER has been suggested for use
in perfume compositions as a modifier for the
conventional Anthranilates and N-Methyl-
anthranilates in floral and Oriental fragrance
types. It gives interesting variations but appears rather dry as compared to the common
esters.
N,N-DIMETHYLANTHRANILIC ACID METHYL ESTER can be produced:
1) from Anthranilic acid, methylated by
Willstatter reaction, followed by esterification.
2) from Betaine by heating with Sodium
methoxide in Methanol.
Fruity-type, medium strength odor
