Process
Occurs naturally in patchouli. Recorded for reference; not generally traded as an isolate.

Norpatchoulenol is present in patchouli oil at well under one per cent, but it is one of the compounds that carry the characteristic smell of the oil, earthy and woody, more than patchoulol alone does.

Norpatchoulenol is a constituent of patchouli, recorded here for reference rather than as a traded isolate; PubChem gives its IUPAC name as (1S,3R,7R,8R)-2,2,8-trimethyltricyclo[5.3.1.03,8]undec-5-en-3-ol. Formula C14H22O, molecular weight 206.32. The atlas files it under Wood; its office is fixative and its place is the drydown.
