ALLYL ANTHRANILATE

Chemical properties

Allyl anthranilate is used as a flavor enhancer and flavoring agent.

The Uses of ALLYL ANTHRANILATE

Allyl Anthranilate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a light yel- low colored liquid of green leaf-wine odor. it is stable but may cause discoloration. it should be stored in glass or tin containers. it is used as flavoring for its wine note and has application in beverages and candy at 1–2 ppm.

The Uses of ALLYL ANTHRANILATE

Allyl Anthraniliate is used in the synthesis of diazabicyclo-heptanone compounds mimicking β-lactam antibiotics.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-Propenyl 2-aminobenzoate is a benzoate ester.

General Description

Clear golden liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

The unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are generally much more reactive than the alkanes, which are saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Strong oxidizers may react vigorously with them. Reducing agents can react exothermically to release gaseous hydrogen. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Toxic; fire hazard.

Fire Hazard

ALLYL ANTHRANILATE is probably combustible.

Synthesis

Allyl Anthraniliate is produced by alcoholysis on lsatoic anhydride and Allyl alcohol, using Sodium methylate catalyst. The cross-esterification method yields a very impure material.
