MONOREG - an expert system for structural elucidation of monoterpenes

This paper describes a new expert system denominated MONOREG for structural determination of monoterpenes. This system is composed of five programs capable of performing 13 C NMR spectra data analyses and analyses of systematic data from living organisms. At the end of this procedure, it shows the likely skeletons of the compound in question as well as the substructures compatible with the 13 C NMR data. The system was tested on the skeleton elucidation of 40 monoterpenes from a wide variety of structure types and exhibited excellent results in the skeleton prediction process.
