CijHjfiO, Mr 222.37, mp. 86-87°C, [a]g +10.5° (CHCI3). C. constitutes the actual fragrance substance of cedarwood oil it is often found in cypress oils, sometimes in juniper species (red cedar). C. is the main component in the oil of Juniperus chinensis. To increase the valuable woody, balmy notes, the alcoholic components of cedarwo oil are esterified (e g-, 0-acetyl-C.=cedryl acetate). C. and cedrene-con-taining distillates serve as fixatives for soap perfumes, pine scents, and for perfumes with a woody note in general.

The major recent development in the production of cedar wood oils has been the establishment of industries in China and Texas. The oil produced in China (10, 11) is probably from Juniperus chinensis (J W Rowe, personal communication, 1984). In 1986, 420000 kg were imported into the United States at a value of 847000 (29). At the same time, the United States production of cedar wood oil allowed exports of 1 million kg, worth 5.6 million (16).
