Talk:santol

Missing English chemical noun?

 * The Practitioner's Medical Dictionary (Gould, 1919): "1. A crystalline substance ... found by H. Weidel (1870) in white sandalwood. 2. A proprietary preparation of sandalwood, used for gonorrhea, etc."

The original text gives the chemical formula, but it was corrupted to "CiHtOi" in scanning. From looking around Google Books I think it may be (see Journal of the Chemical Society (of Great Britain), volume 113, part 1, page 137). In any case it's not clear that this name ever really caught on. Equinox ◑ 17:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Only found it in a book from the same year and the same author (citations). The journal article contains a few similar compound names, some of which may be attestable: santol, santalin, acetylsantalin, isosantalin, deoxysantalin, deoxyisosantalin, acetylisosantalin, acetyldeoxyisosantalin, santal, santalone. -- Einstein2 (talk) 18:29, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * We're gonna miss Blotto when he's gone. Equinox ◑ 20:26, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
