Cyclopropane cleavage of (+)-α-santalyl acetate (1b) by treatment firstly with HCl/CHCl3 at -50 deg C and secondly with basic alumina resulted in (-)-β-santalyl acetate (2b) and (+)-epi-β-santalyl acetate (3b).The identity with 2b, 3b, isolated from east indian sandalwood oil, was demonstrated by 1H-, 13C-NMR, and ORD spectra.This result defines the absolute configurations of the β-santalols 2a, 3a, and 4a.
