PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Methyl N-methylanthranilate is a methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of N-methylanthranilic acid with methanol. It has a role as a fungal metabolite, a plant metabolite and an animal metabolite. It is a benzoate ester, a methyl ester, a secondary amino compound and a substituted aniline. It is functionally related to a N-methylanthranilic acid.
