The two major thiols of the striped skunks, (E)-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-1-butanethiol are the major components in the secretion of the spotted skunks along with a third thiol, 2-phenylethanethiol.
Thioacetate derivatives of the three thiols are present in the spray of the striped skunks but not the spotted skunks. They are not as odoriferous as the thiols. Water hydrolysis converts them to the more potent thiols. This chemical conversion may be why pets that have been sprayed by skunks will have a faint "skunky" odor on damp evenings.
A thought. Would folks be able to assemble on tightwad hill this season with social distancing and masks? I suspect the campus police will cordon off the area, but who knows. Also, someone has to fire off the canon when we score.

Is there a college team with a skunk as a mascot?
Is there a clever analogy here that I'm totally missing?
