OTC Cadaverine and Putrescine
Anyone here tried this? Ethylene glycol can be found easily but I don't know about butylene glycol and pentylene glycol. Maybe a better idea would be
to do a reductive amination on formic acid with propylamine then substitute the hydroxyl group with an amino group. Dunno where the hell I'd get
propylamine though. Any ideas?

Nature knows best. Seems to me these pungent puke producers, might be best synthesized by the decarboxylation of amino acids.
Way I remember it, refluxing Lysine with a high boiling ketone, will produce cadaverine
straightaway. Yields might not be great, but how much cadaverine, does a guy really need?
Alternately, you could try fermenting a dead rat, but that, I suppose, would be cheating.

Why not make some spermine?

I can vouch for the fact that it smells like semen at even trace amounts!

Didn't think of that, thanks.
I'm planning on producing a new brand of perfume. Eau de Mort haha.

A dead clam/oyster will produce an odour that will bring
your lunch up — that fast. One would suspect the chemical(s)
responsible is sulphur based.
