Some highly substituted aromatic nitro compounds are characterized by a persistent musky aroma and have long been known as the nitro musks. They are still of considerable industrial importance as substitute for the naturally occurring musk odorants that are expensive and difficult to synthesize. Representative nitro musks include musk xylol, musk ketone, musk ambrette, musk tibetene, and moskene (Scheme 1). Especially, the former ...
