title: Acidic components of green river shale identified by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-computer system.
abstract: A system consisting of a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer and computer has been used to characterize the extractable acidic components of Green River shale. This system accumulates mass spectra at every point of the gas chromatogram in a permanent form which permits one to observe mass spectra of minor as well as major constituents. One minor component, whose identification was confirmed by synthesis, was 6,10,14-trimethyl-pentadecanoic acid.
