Abstract
AbstractSandalwood (Santalum album L.) is a traditional incense, and its essential oil is used in fragrances. The hexane extract from Indian sandalwood chips had a sandalwood odour similar to sandalwood chips, but it clearly differed from that of commercial essential oil. By fractional distillation of the extract under reduced pressure, a fraction was obtained that had a sandalwood‐like odour and contained several unknown formyl compounds as the main constituents. Santalyl formates were isolated as new components from this fraction by chromatography and characterized by 1H‐ and 13C‐NMR spectroscopy. These constituents were less abundant in the commercial essential oil than in the hexane extract. Santalyl formates were synthesized from the corresponding alcohols.
