The chemical components of cigarette smoke produced in constant volume continuous smoking by an artificial smoking device were systematically fractionated into basic, acidic, neutral, phenolic, carbonyl and mercuric chloride-precipitable compounds. From the low boiling basic fractions ammonia, methylamine and ethylamine were qualitatively identified by paper chromatography, and pyridine and nicotine were isolated and identified by elementary analyses, mixed examinations and infrared spectra. An unidentified substance having elementary analysis values of C, 29.40; H, 1.93; N, 22.40 as picrate (m. p. 250°C, dec.) was isolated.
