Structure–Activity Relationships in the Domain of Odorants Having Marine Notes (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 7/2015)

The cover picture shows the model used by the authors to find a new class of molecules that have marine, watery olfactory notes, surfing on the big wave of success of this trend for both men's and women's perfumes. Continuing their efforts in this domain, the authors demonstrate that the seven-membered ring with the ketone functional group of the Calone 1951® family can be replaced by a five-membered ring carrying an aldehyde function. Details are discussed in the article by J.-M. Gaudin and J.-Y. de Saint Laumer on 1437 ff. The authors would like to warmly thank H. Fabreguettes for his assistance for this cover picture.
