Beta-Santalol Prod.: 1) bera-Santalol is a minor component of “Santalol”, obtained as an isolate from Sandalwood oil. Separating the two isomers by fractionated vacuum distillation is very difficult, if not nearly impossible. It may be necessary to produce derivatives of the two isomers to separate them quantitatively. The separation has no commercial interest. 2) A synthesis starting from 3-Methyl-norcamphor-3-bromopropionate has been suggested, but it has no comme portance.
