Abstract:		"Investigations regarding the chemical composition of the volatiles in male mouse urine have recently enabled the structural elucidation of a hitherto unreported urinary component, 7-exo-ethyl-5-methyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]-3-octene. This compound's uniqueness to mouse urine and its dependence on testosterone levels in the male suggest its probable role as a mouse pheromone or pheromone adjuvant"
