Santalols are primary, unsaturated sesquiterpene alcohols with the empirical formula C ₁₅ H ₂₄ O, which occur in two isomeric forms as α-santalol and β-santalol.

Occurrence

Sandalwood tree

The Santalole are natural products and as such are the main components of East Indian sandalwood oil and are also found in celery seeds.

Extraction and presentation

β-Santalol can be obtained from camphensultone .

Properties and meaning

Commercial raw santalol is an oily, viscous, mostly clear liquid with a faint sandalwood-like odor, a density of 0.978 to 0.980 g · cm ⁻³ at 15 ° C and a boiling range of 305 to 306 ° C at normal pressure. Santalol is mainly used as a balsamic fragrance with a simultaneous fixing effect. There was also medicinal use as an antiseptic .
