  • Applications

    Butyl anthranilate (CAS 7756-96-9) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery, where it acts as an odorant and fixative to help stabilize and enhance aromas in perfumes and fragrance formulations. It is also employed in cosmetics and personal care products to provide or reinforce scent. In household products, it serves to impart pleasant fragrance in cleaners, laundry products, and air fresheners. Additionally, it may be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds and aroma chemicals within the industrial fragrance sector, with usage governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
