Nitrogen musks

There are a number of nitro-compounds known under the name of artificial musk, all of which may conveniently be grouped together here. The natural odorous constituents of musk appear to be, in the main, ketonic compounds free from nitrogen, so that the term artificial musk must be understood to mean artificially prepared bodies, having musklike odours, but not having any direct chemical relationship with natural musk perfume.

Different organic groups have been used in synthetic perfumes hydrocarbons, terpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols (dtronelol, geraniol, cinnamic alcohol), fenols (p-cresol, thymol), aldehydes (cuminaldehyde, vanillin), ketones (carvone, muscone, ionones, metilion-ones), lactones (nonalactone, undecalactone), esters (acetates, formates, butyrates), nitrogen compounds (indol, methyl anthranilate, musk xylol, quinoHnes).

Other constituents present in musk include steroids (cholesterol and its esters, cholest-4-en-3-one, and possibly the bufadienolides re-sibufogenin and cinobufagin, and others) paraffins (long chain and branched) triglycerides (oleodipalmitin, palmitodiolein, and triolein methyl palmitate and methyl oleate wax protein (musk protein MP-1, MW ca. 35,000 Da) muscopyridine, hydroxymus-copyridine A and B, and other nitrogenous substances (e.g., urea and ammonium...
