Is there such a chemical compound as putracine ( maybe not correctly spelled ) which emulates the extreme odor of rotting corpses ? If so where can I find out how to make it ?

Why make putracine when you can just buy it? You would be amazed at what you can order from chemical supply companies. But I would recommend muriatic acid instead as it is more persistant -- a couple drops will last for months (sources say). --j
