sulfur-containing compounds. Indeed, the major component in the odor of
sweat is (S)-3-methyl-3-mercapto-1-hexanol. Draw the structure of this thiol.

and product acids (see eqs. 7.14, 7.15, and 7.48)
Acid-Catalyzed Dehydration of Alcohols

Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).
