Phenylethyl Anthranilate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Pure phenethyl anthranilate is almost odorless. With other materials, it has a characteristic odor reminiscent of neroli and grapefruit odor with a sweet, grape and orange undertone. It has low stablility.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

Phenylethyl Anthranilate is a synthetic flavoring agent that is a stable, white to yellow crystal of grape and orange blossom odor. It should be stored in glass or polyethylene-lined containers. It is used for flavors such as grape and cherry in applications such as beverages, ice cream, candy, and baked goods at 2–6 ppm.

Definition

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

Preparation

By direct esterification of anthranilic acid with phenylethyl alcohol; pure material from phenylethyl alcohol plus isatoic anhydride; also from phenylethyl alcohol and methylanthranilate.

General Description

Colorless solid with an odor of grape and orange. Insoluble in water.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

FEMA 2859 forms salts readily with acids. Hydrolyzes under alkaline pH conditions. .

Fire Hazard

Flash point data are not available for FEMA 2859, but FEMA 2859 is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

A skin irritant. See also ESTERS. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
