N-Acetylanthranilic Acid Properties

Description

N-Acetylanthranilic acid is an organic compound. It is an intermediate product in catabolism of quinaldine in Arthrobacter sp., and is further metabolized to anthranilic acid. It exhibits triboluminescence when crushed. The fractured crystals have large electrical potentials between areas of high and low charge. When the electrons suddenly migrate to neutralize these potentials, flashes of deep blue light are created. It is UN-controlled Table I illicit drug precursor.
