Structure-activity studies of musk odorants using pattern recognition: monocyclic nitrobenzenes

Abstract
A structure-activity study of musk odorants is reported. The discovery of a geometric olfactophore is described. A set of 71 monocyclic benzenoid compounds (38 musks and 33 non-musks) have been studied using pattern recognition techniques. Two different discriminants based on sets of 13 molecular structure descriptors were developed that completely separated the compounds into their respective classes. A set of 29 other compounds were predicted.
