santene Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Physical properties

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Ethereal-gassy, sweet-camphoraceous odor, in high concentration rather unpleasant, but upon dilution sweeter, less gassy, more Camphene-like, balsamic. Poor tenacity.
Santene tends to polymerize, become viscous and odorless.

Definition

ChEBI: 2,3-Dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene is a hydrocarbon.

Production Methods

Santene can be produced 1) by isolation from Sandalwood oil or from various Pine needle oils. 2) synthetic - from Nor-bomeol. 3) By dehydration of Camphenilol. This synthesis starts from Camphene via omegaNitrocamphene to Camphenilone, and by hydrogenation to Camphenilol.
