β-santalol

β-Santalol, C15H24O, is the second of the two santalols a study of the oil’s biosynthesis names as the main contributors to the scent of sandalwood oil. Its identity is PubChem’s.

No share is given: no multi-sample measured figure with its method is filed.

The β-santalol molecule

A computed 3D conformer , modeled, not a photograph of a molecule. PubChem CID 6857681.

PubChem’s computed 3D conformer of β-santalol (CID 6857681, conformer 0068A3D100000001): the shape a computer model gives the molecule, not an experimental structure and not a picture of a real molecule. Ball and stick: 15 carbon, 1 oxygen; the 24 hydrogen atoms are left out for clarity. The balls are drawn smaller than the atoms’ real reach; a double bond is two sticks, side by side.
