Predictors for the reactivity of primary aromatic amines were hypothesized and tested on a small set of amines. It was found that the delocalizibility on the nitrogen of the previously hypothesized nitrenium ion intermediate was the only good predictor. The strength of this predictor was tested on a larger set of amines and a cut off value for discriminating between carcinogens and noncarcinogens was chosen. This QSAR supports the hypothesis that a nitrenium ion is an intermediate in the activation of primary aromatic amines to active carcinogens.
