Chapuis C. (2004) "In the quest for a virtual pseudo receptor for sandalwood-like odorants. Part I:
The empirical approach." Chem Biodivers.1(7):980-1021. Abstract. Based on similarities between
naturally occurring (-)-(Z)-β-- or (+)-(Z)-α-santalol ((-)- 1 or (+)-2, resp.) and the reversed (E)-
configured synthetic derivatives from campholenal (7a), a simple model A was developed.
Besides reconciliation of this stereochemical aspect, this initial model also tentatively explained
the enantiodiscriminations as well as the large spectra of distances separating the OH function
from the lipophilic quaternary center(s) reported for different classes of substrates. Evolution,
modifications, and refinement of this imperfect model allied with the research for alternative
possibilities are illustrated, along with a historical guideline, in the light of olfactively challenging
synthetic seco-substructures as well as literature reports. Despite evolution of the inadequate
model A and a plausible interpretation of the lipophilic part, the topological positions of the OH
function and its vicinal alkyl substituent could nevertheless not be fully ascertained by this
approach. This apparently inconclusive empirical concept prompted us to turn our attention
towards a computerized methodology, which will constitute the second and third part of this study.

Sandalwood Conference 2008 at The Kimberley Grande, Kununurra, W. Australia 13-15 May
2008. Cropwatch Comments: Chawla illustrates the demise of EI sandalwood’s decline via the
annual production figure for sandalwwod sales in Tamilnadu, which peaked at 2330.5 tons in
1999-2000, against just 14 tons in 2007-8. Also of interest were facts about the selection of 79 or
more sandalwwod trees maintained at the IWST germplasm bank in Gottipura and about the
clonal seed orchards from these trees maintained at Nalla Nallal and Jarakabande and at the
Andhra Pradesh Forest Department Research Center, BIOTRIM, at Tirupathi. .

analysis of East Indian sandalwood oil (Santalum album) has resulted in the isolation and
identification of trans-β-santalol and epi-cis-β- santalol.

Sandalwood in L’Oreal products”. Sandalwood Conference 2008 at The Kimberley Grande,
Kununurra, W. Australia 13-15 May 2008 Cropwatch Comments: Drawing on data from
Edwards M. Fragrances of the World, Choueiri (Head of Lancome UK) includes the point that of
106 current fragrances listing sandalwood, only 36 detail Indian sandalwood, and of those, only
16 detail Mysore sandalwood (the rest we assume use sandalwood from other sources). Of these
sixteen current fragrances allegedly employing Mysore sandalwood, four are supplied by IFF, two
by Givaudin (Quest), one by Firmenich and one by Symrise. The present situation of shortage
seems a far cry from the original launching of three fragrances containing authentic sandalwood
by the antique pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella, Florence in 1828.
