Tobacco smoke chemistry 3. Aromatic acids of cigarette smoke condensate
Abstract
A fraction containing mainly aromatic acids has been isolated from cigarette smoke condensate. Gas chromatographic and mass spectral analysis of the corresponding methyl esters and comparison with reference compounds, many of which were synthesized for this purpose, made possible the identification of 27 constituents (Table 1). Eighteen of these have not been detected in tobacco smoke condensate before.
