In addition to the above-described terpenes proper, there are a few other hydrocarbons which may be conveniently dealt with here. These are salvene, the so-called olefinic terpenes, myrcene and ocimene, the terpene homologues, cantharene, santene, and a hydrocarbon of the formula CjjHjg found in sandalwood oil, and the diterpene phyllocladene. 

This constitution is confirmed by the conversion of camphenylone into santene by Komppa and Hintikka. ... 

Santene has also been examined by Aschan. The following are the characters of the purest specimens which have been isolated from sandalwood and Siberian nine oils —... 

Santene forms a nitrosochloride, prepared in the usual manner, melting at 109° to 110°, and a nitrosite melting at 125°. It also forms a hydrochloride melting at 80° to 81°. By hydration with sulphuric and acetic acids it yields an alcohol C HjjOH, which is termed santenol (isosantenol, nor-bomeol). This body melts at 97° to 98° and boils at 195° to 196°. 

Kondakow has carried out an investigation on the haloid derivatives of santene, and finds that mixtures of liquid and solid hydrochlorides and hydrobromides are usually obtained so that the haloid derivatives are unsatisfactory for identification purposes. 

There exists in East Indian sandalwood oil an alcohol, of the formula CjHjgO, which has been named santelol, or santenone alcohol. It is closely allied to, and much resembles, the alcohol obtained by the hydration of the hydrocarbon, santene q.v.), and is probably stereo-isomeric with it. There is some difference of opinion as to the proper nomenclature of the two alcohols. According to Charabot, the naturally occurring alcohol, also obtainable by the reduction of santenone, is analogous to borneol, and should therefore be termed, if that analogy is...
