Colorless, slightly viscous liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
It has a refreshingly sweet-woody, very tenacious odor, by some observers considered superior to that of Santalol, at least with respect to strength.
The material is briefly mentioned here in support of the rather meager information so far available on the subject of artificial Sandalwood odors (chemicals) of similar structure, but not of natural origin.
Produced by chromic acid oxidation of alpha-Santalol. A partial synthesis has also been elaborated.
