How it is made

The main components of ... cedarwood oils are a-cedrene, cedrol, and thujopsene. ... Fractional distillation gives hydrocarbon and alcohol fractions. Cedrene and thujopsene are separated from the former and recrystallization of the latter gives cedrol.

Prepared from cedarwood by fractional distillation followed by recrystallization from sutiable solvents of appropriate solid fractions.
