摘要
The substance causing the peculiar odor in sweat of schizophrenic patients has been isolated and identified as trans-3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The natural and the synthetic compounds were cleaved across the double bond to give 2-pentanone and oxalic acid, thereby confirming the structure.
