Isomerism :

Dimethyl Anthranilate does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Dimethyl Anthranilate easily produces Schiff bases by reaction with aldehydes.

Synthesis route :

Dimethyl Anthranilate is prepared from Methyl Anthranilate by a methylation reaction of the amine function of the molecule. This reaction is made in an acid medium.

Stability :

Can color through time. As Methyl Anthranilate, this compound is well known for synthesizing Schiff bases by reacting espacially with aldehydes. These compounds can have an olfactive interest but are still a source of coloration in perfume concentrates and perfumes besides others. This is why this raw material is used is small quantities.
Very unstable in acidic products, except fabric conditioners, and in very basic products

Other comments :

Methyl Anthranilate is more associated with Orange Blossom Absolute notes and fruity notes of wild strawberry than Dimethyl Anthranilate, closer to Mandarin Yellow EO.
