Abstract
The neutral fraction of cigarette smoke components, produced in constant-volume continuous smoking by an artificial smoking device, was sub-fractionated into alcohols, acid-, alcohol- and phenol-components of esters, unsaponifiable matters and hydrocarbons. From these sub-fractions ethyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, β-phenylethyl alcohol and ethyl acetate were first isolated as their crystalline derivatives and then identified by their melting points, infrared spectra and elementary analyses. It is worth to note that the presence of these compounds in tobacco smoke has not yet been reported, .in the literature.
