Citral-Methylanthranilate Schiff base was synthesized by the reaction of citral and methylanthranilate in simple condensation technique. The synthesis was carried out at temperature (90 ± 5) °C and various synthesis times of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours. Product of Citral-Methylanthranilate Schiff base spreads color in bright red to black brown as the synthesis times increases. The results of the refractive index of synthesis time variation were 1.541 to 1.561. The values of density at various synthesis times were 1.017 to 1.042 g/mL. The results of the specific gravity of synthesis time variation were 1.026 to 1.050. Analysis with GC-MS was performed to prove that citral-methylanthranilate was actually formed and resulted in the peaks at 18.023 and 19.123 minutes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
