Isobornyl cyclohexanol
Isobornyl
cyclohexanol
is an
organic compound
used primarily as a
fragrance
because of its
aroma
which is similar to
sandalwood oil
. Its
chemical structure
is closely related to that of both
α-Santalol
and
β-Santalol
, which are the
primary
constituents
of
sandalwood
oil
.
Sandalwood
trees
are
endangered
due to
overharvesting
, leading to a high
cost
for the
natural
oil. IBCH is
therefore
produced
as an
economical
alternative
to the
natural product
.
