Цікавий факт
Schiff bases are named after the chemist Hugo Schiff, who discovered them. The reaction between methyl anthranilate and an aldehyde continues even after a perfume has been bottled, so older samples may show Schiff bases that were not present when the fragrance was originally formulated.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
When methyl anthranilate reacts with an aldehyde, water is released and a single, heavier compound is formed. Schiff bases can be synthesized from odorant aldehydes and primary amines through a condensation reaction. The Schiff base of hydroxycitronellal and methyl anthranilate can be prepared by direct condensation of the neat liquid reagents at 110 °C, without solvents or dehydrating agents. Of four methyl anthranilate Schiff bases made in one study, three gave their best yield with a 2:1 excess of the aldehyde, and one with a 2:1 excess of methyl anthranilate. Perfumers can also add methyl anthranilate as a separate ingredient alongside an aldehyde such as hydroxycitronellal, so that the Schiff base forms gradually inside the finished compound over weeks or months, in a process known as maceration.

У парфумерії
Aurantiol is used extensively in a large variety of floral notes, such as orange-blossom, linden-blossom and tuberose. Schiff bases of methyl anthranilate with four aldehydes, hydroxycitronellal among them, may be applied as profragrances, which release the aldehyde and methyl anthranilate on hydrolysis.
