  • Applications

    N-Methylanthranilate (CAS 119-68-6) is primarily used as an odorant and fragrance ingredient in perfumery, contributing a grape-like aroma. It is also evaluated as a flavoring component in certain applications and may be incorporated into cosmetics and personal care formulations for its fruity note. In household products such as cleaners and air fresheners, it can serve as a fragrance additive. In industrial manufacturing, it is used as a chemical intermediate for synthesizing related aroma compounds and may be used in coatings and inks as a fragrance additive or fixative. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
