Methyl Anthranilate Pure
Methyl anthranilate is the methyl ester of anthranilic acid, and under Chapter 29 Note 5(B), esters of ethyl alcohol with acid-function compounds are classified with the corresponding acid. However, this is a methyl ester, so it is classified under the ester rules of Note 5(A), which places it with the acid-function compound that occurs last in numerical order. Since methyl anthranilate is an ester of anthranilic acid, it falls under heading 29.22.
