Appearance

Colorless or very pale straw-colored liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mild, sweet-fruity-floral odor including the inevitable Orangeblossom theme, but overall flat and not as fresh in its type as the iso-Butylester.

Flavor

The ester also finds use in flavor compositions for imitation Grape, Mandarin, Pineapple, Strawberry and Banana.

Uses in perfumery

Suggested for use in perfume compositions, mainly in Orangeblossom (as a modifier for lower homologues), Chypre, Oriental fragrances, Narcisse bases, etc.

Uses in flavor

Being a comparatively powerful flavor chemical, it usually enters at concentrations around 10 ppm in the finished product.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of n-Butyl-alcohol with Anthranilic acid under azeotropic conditions. Newer methods include the reaction of Isatoic anhydride with a Butoxide in alcoholic solution.
