A Schiff base of citral and methyl anthranilate with a warm, sweet neroli–orange blossom character lifted by a bright citrus-peel facet. The methyl anthranilate side brings a grape-like, slightly powdery floral sweetness while the citral contributes a lemony freshness, giving a rounded mandarin/petitgrain effect that lasts far longer than either raw material alone.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Viscous, dark orange colored liquid, insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with perfume oils.

Solubility

Slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. It is also soluble in Propylene glycol.

Odor

The odor, which may vary from sweet orange-blossom to fresh orange peel-like, or grapefruit-peel-like, is strongly dependent upon the method of preparation and the ratio of Aldehyde/Anthranilate used.

Flavor

Pleasant, but rather weak lemony taste in aqueous media (the decomposition changes the flavor to lemon).

Uses in perfumery

This product does not contribute any highly interesting or indispensable notes to fragrance compositions.

Production

Produced by condensation of Citral with Methylanthranilate (equal mols.).
