Since the discovery of methyl anthranilate in neroli oil in 1899, people have successively found anthranilic acid esters in many natural plants such as oranges, lemon jasmine, ylang-ylang, gardenia, etc. The existence of compounds has attracted the attention of the spice industry. Anthranilates are both esters and primary aromatic amines, so they have the dual characteristics of esters and amines. When it is added to flavors containing other aldehydes, it can undergo condensation reaction with aldehydes to produce Sch base (Sch near Base) with more stable properties and stronger aroma.
Most Schiff bases have dark colors, but some are light orange and have a strong aroma, which is a good agent in essence. Because such compounds have strong fruit fragrance and flower fragrance, they have been widely used in daily flavor and edible flavor. In edible flavors, it is the main flavor of grape flavor, and can also be used in various berries, melons, honey flavors, citrus, roses, violets and wine flavors. Methyl anthranilate is one of the backbone products of the perfume industry. It can also prepare about 60 kinds of spices; menthyl anthranilate obtained by transesterification with menthol is an effective sunscreen agent.
Methyl anthranilate orMethyl 2-aminobenzoate naturally exists in essential oils such as citrus, tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, orange blossom, etc. It has strong fruit and flower fragrance. It is one of the backbone products of the spice industry and is widely used in daily and edible flavors. In the edible flavor, it is the main flavor of grape flavor, and can also be used in various berry, melon, honey flavor, citrus, lemon, strawberry and pineapple. About 60 kinds of fragrances can also be prepared from methyl anthranilate. For example, other anthranilate esters prepared by transesterification reaction of methyl anthranilate are one of the commonly used raw materials for flavoring, with a wide range of uses and high value; It reacts with some aldehydes to form Schiff bases with more stable properties and stronger aroma. It is a good fixative in flavors.
Using o-nitrotoluene as the starting material:
o-nitrotoluene is oxidized to o-nitrobenzoic acid, which is then ammoniated and converted into o-aminobenzoic acid. Finally, it reacts with methanol and catalyzes esterification with an acidic catalyst to obtain methyl anthranilate
accurately weigh about 1.0g of sample and determine it according to method 1 in ester determination method (OT-18). The equivalent factor (e) in the calculation is 75.59.

methyl anthranilate is a food spice allowed by the hygienic standard for the use of food additives in China. it is used to prepare watermelon, citrus, grape, strawberry and other fruit flavor and wine flavor. The usage amount in chewing gum is 2200 mg/kg; 56 mg/kg in candy; 23 mg/kg in pudding; 21 mg/kg in cold drinks; 20 mg/kg in baked food; 16rng/kg in soft drinks; 0.2 mg/kg in alcohol.
this product can be used as an intermediate for pesticides and saccharin. Methyl anthranilate has the sweet fragrance of tower flowers, and has a grape-like fragrance when diluted. It is used for the blending of cheap artificial flower oils. It also uses soap spices or grape flavors. Our GB 2760-86 stipulates that edible spices are allowed to be used. It is mainly used to prepare flavors such as grapes, oranges, roganberries, strawberries and watermelons. Anthranilates can react with aldehydes to form valuable soap-based fragrances, such as hydroxyl aromatic aldehydes and anthranilate. The following spices are obtained by the action of methyl ester. This kind of spice is already commercially available in China, and the trade name is Aurantiol. The oral LD50 was 2910mg/kg in rats and 3900mg/kg in mice.
for organic synthesis
Used to synthesize spices, drugs, etc.
GB 2760 a 1996 stipulates that it is temporarily allowed to use edible spices. It is mainly used to prepare flavors such as grapes, citrus, luogan berries, strawberries and watermelons. It is also a necessary raw material for the preparation of artificial orange oil.
can be used to prepare jasmine, orange blossom, gardenia, narcissus, tuberose, white orchid, ylang ylang and other types of flavors. It is often shared with orange leaf oil in oriental fragrance, heavy floral fragrance, and sweet wood fragrance. In edible flavor, it is not only suitable for grape type, but also for berry, strawberry, watermelon, honey, citrus and other types. It is also available in wine flavors.
dissolve anthranilic acid in methanol with 5 times the volume, pass hydrogen chloride, saturate and place for 1h, then heat and reflux for 1h, evaporate excess methanol, add sodium hydroxide solution, and make it precipitate by steam distillation or vacuum distillation.
With the participation of sulfuric acid, the o-nitrobenzoic acid and methanol are esterified into methyl o-nitrobenzoate, and then reduced with stannous chloride in ethanol solution, neutralized with alkali, and then distilled by steam.
It is obtained by esterification of sodium o-benzamide formate, sodium hypochlorite, methanol, etc.
in nature, methyl anthranilate exists in tartar oil, neroli oil, ylang ylang, jasmine oil, tuberose oil, etc. Industrial manufacturing is generally obtained by esterification of anthranilic acid and methanol. The methanol solution of anthranilic acid was heated to 65 ℃, sulfuric acid was added dropwise, and the sulfate of methyl anthranilic acid was formed at 75 ℃. Then neutralize and precipitate methyl anthranilate with sodium hydroxide solution. After extracting with toluene, washing the toluene extract and evaporating toluene, the crude methyl anthranilate was subjected to vacuum distillation in the presence of sodium carbonate, and the finished fraction was cooled to below 12-15 ℃, I .e. methyl anthranilate was precipitated. Another preparation method is to obtain this product by ammonification, degradation and esterification of phthalic anhydride.
phthalic anhydride is added into ammonia water at 0 ℃, and the solution is completed within 1~2min. when the temperature rises to 48~50 ℃, sodium hydroxide solution at 5 ℃ is added, the temperature is controlled below 70 ℃, and the reaction solution remains alkaline. Ammonia was discharged at 60~65 ℃ for 10h to obtain sodium orthoformyl carbamobenzoate solution. Cool it to -12 ℃, add methanol at -10 ℃, add sodium hypochlorite solution at -10 ℃ under stirring, and maintain the reaction below 0 ℃ for 1h. Then the temperature is raised to about 20°C and tested with potassium iodide starch solution until it is colorless. Heat to 45 ℃ to dissolve it, transfer to the sedimentation tank and stand for 8h, separate out the mother liquor, take the oil layer and filter it, then stand for stratification to obtain methyl anthranilate with a yield of more than 90%.
Heat the methanol solution of anthranilic acid to 65°C, add sulfuric acid dropwise, and react at 75°C to produce sulfate of methyl anthranilic acid. After neutralization with sodium hydroxide, methyl anthranilate is precipitated, extracted with toluene, washed the toluene extract, and evaporated to remove toluene, and finally distilled under reduced pressure in the presence of sodium carbonate to obtain the finished product.
