Aurantiol Schiff base as A Raw Material in Fragrance Industry Synthesized by Simple Condensation Method and Its Characterization Using GC-MS

Fragrance seeds are produced from a combination of various kinds of raw materials, both natural and synthetic. One of the synthetic raw materials added in making fragrances is schiff base. In this study, aurantiol schiff base was made from raw material of methyl anthranylate and hydroxy citronellal by simple condensation at 110 °C for 30 minutes. The color of the product obtained is observed and compared to the standard color, which is dark yellow. Furthermore, characterization was carried out using gas chromatography and mass spectrophotometry. The chromatogram results showed that aurantiol with the molecular formula C18H27NO3 had similarities above 90%.
