Butyl anthranilate is a benzoate ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of anthranilic acid with the hydroxy group of butanol. Found in several fruit species, it is used as a flavouring and fragrance agent and also exhibits insect repellent properties. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a fragrance, an insect repellent and a plant metabolite. It is a benzoate ester and a substituted aniline. It is functionally related to a butan-1-ol and an anthranilic acid. — ChEBI
