Camembert-type cheeses with a powdery rind of white mold Penkillium camemberti) smeU pleasantly of mushrooms, earth and garlic. The characteristic component of the mushroom-like odour is oct-l-en-3-ol, the floral odour components are primarily 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethyl acetate, and 1,3-dimethoxybenzene and methyl cinnamate are responsible for the odour resembling nuts. The garlic note of matured cheese is caused by the presence of sulfur compounds, such as 2-bis (methylthio)methane, also known as bis(dimethylsulfanyl)-methane or 2,4-dithiapentane, tris(methylthio) methane, also known as tris(methylsulfanyl)methane or 3-methylthio-2,4-dithiapentane, methyl (methylthio)methyl disulfide, also known as (methyldisuflanyl) methylsulfanylmethane or 2,3,5-trithiahexane, and bis(methylthiomethyl) sulfide (8-186). 

When heated with tris(formylamino)methane at 185 °C for 45 minutes, 4-amino-2-(methylsulf-anyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (29, R = SMe) yields 7-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimido[4,5-efipyrimidin-4-amine in 91 % yield (mp > 300 "C).122...
