Anthranilic acid (o-aminobenzoic acid, 2-aminobenzoic acid, 2-AA, 2AA, AA) is an aromatic acid with the formula C₆H₄(NH₂)(CO₂H). The molecule consists of a benzene ring, ortho-substituted with a carboxylic acid and an amine. As a result of containing both acidic and basic functional groups, the compound is amphoteric. Anthranilic acid is a white solid when pure, although commercial samples may appear yellow. It is sometimes referred to as vitamin L₁ and has a sweetish taste. The anion [C₆H₄(NH₂)(CO₂)]⁻, obtained by the deprotonation of anthranilic acid, is called anthranilate.
