Other comments :
Several sandalwood compounds have similar structures. This is the case of Ebanol, Bacdanol®, Javanol® and Polysantol®. Their structure is composed of a branched cyclopentenic body, and a long carbon chain attached to this cycle. It is on this chain that the differences between the compounds are made.

Synthesis route :
Polysantol® is synthesized from campholenaldehyde, condensed with butan-2-one in an acid medium to give 3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-3-penten-2-one as an intermediate product. A methylation step under phase transfer conditions provides a new product, which can be reduced by sodium borohydride to get Polysantol®.
Synthesis precursor :
Polysantol® is not used to synthesize other compounds of organoleptic interest.
Isomerism :
Polysantol® has a double bond and two asymmetric carbons that give rise to several isomers of this molecule. It is nevertheless its mixture of isomers that is used in perfumery.
In addition, Polysantol® is a constitutional isomer of Javanol®. These two compounds have a similar structure, and are used for similar reasons in perfumery. Javanol® has a less milky note than Polysantol®, but is more powerful.
