About
A Schiff base fragrance compound combining a modified cinnamal with methyl anthranilate, carrying warnings for skin sensitization and reproductive toxicity.
This Schiff base fragrance is formed by the condensation of p-tert-butyl-alpha-methylhydrocinnamal (a modified cinnamal derivative) with methyl anthranilate. It carries hazard statements H317 (may cause allergic skin reaction), H361 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child), and H412 (harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects). Fragrance materials with H317 and H361 classifications are under increasing regulatory scrutiny in the EU, with the SCCS evaluating their safety for cosmetic use. The Schiff base structure may undergo hydrolysis, releasing the individual components including methyl anthranilate, which itself is a fragrance allergen.
