It is a clear to pale yellow liquid with melting point 24 °C and boiling point 256 °C. It shows a light blue [[fluorescence]]. It is very slightly soluble in water, and soluble in [[ethanol]] and [[propylene glycol]]. It is insoluble in [[paraffin oil]] and [[glycerol]]. It is combustible, with [[flash point]] at 104 °C. At full concentration, it has fruity grape smell; at 25 ppm it has sweet fruity concord grape like smell with a musty and berry nuance.<ref>[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1008211.html The Good Scents Company: Allyl hexanoate]</ref> |

Allyl hexanoate acts as a [[animal repellent|bird repellent]]. It is food-grade and can be used to protect corn, sunflowers, rice, fruit, and golf courses. [[Allyl hexanoate]] (DMA) has a similar effect. It is also used for |

the flavor of grape KoolAid. |

Legend has it that a German scientist created this chemical by accident while mixing unstable chemicals |
|||
in his lab. Soon, the lab was filled with the enticing scent of grapes. Allyl hexanoate is considered one of the |
|||
first artificial flavors. |

==Occurrence== |

Allyl hexanoate naturally occurs in the [[Concord grape]]s and other [[Vitis labrusca]] grapes or hybrids thereof, and in [[bergamot]], [[champaca]], [[gardenia]], [[jasmine]], [[lemon]], [[Mandarin orange|mandarin]], [[neroli]], [[Orange (fruit)|orange]]s, [[rue oil]], [[strawberry]], [[tuberose]], and [[ylang ylang]]. It is used for [[flavoring]] of candy, soft drinks (eg. grape soda), gums, and drugs. |

Allyl hexanoate, also known as MA, methyl 2-aminobenzoate or carbomethoxyaniline, is an ester of anthranilic acid. Its chemical formula is C8H9NO2.
Chemical properties
It is a colorless to pale yellow clear liquid. You'll find it boiling at 190.00 to 191.00 °C, but its melting point is unknown. Its somewhat weightless compared to other chemicals in the hexanoate chemical family.
Uses
Allyl hexanoate is employed principally in the formulation of pineapple flavors but it canas als be used for peach and apricot essences and for apple blossom, peach blossom, and wisteria perfume compositions. Allyl caproate is an ingredient of some lipstick perfumes. Adds a sweet juicy note to citrus flavors.
