The odorous trace constituent iso‐ β ‐bisabolol ( 4 ) was isolated from East Indian and Western Australian sandalwood oil and synthesized by using the ( E / Z )‐triene 12 (iso‐ γ ‐bisabolene) as a key intermediate. Only one of four stereoisomeric forms of 4 , (6 R ,7 R )‐ 4a , is odor active, having a strong floral, muguet ‐like, very pleasant scent.
