## Abstract The relationship between molecular structure and odor has fascinated and puzzled chemists for more than a century. Despite a great deal of research on structure–odor relationships, prediction of the odor of a novel molecule remains a statistical exercise and models only provide a probab

✦ Synopsis
The asymmetric syntheses of the enantiomers of Madrol (1) are described and their odor properties evaluated. ( )-(-)-1 exerts a powerful sandalwood odor with some animalic undertones, whereas its antipode smells sweet and flowery rather than like sandalwood. Molecular surface comparisons show remarkable deviations in the hydrophobic parts of the two enantiomers. Chirality 9: 380-385, 1997.

Casodex' (bicalutamide) is an orally active, non-steroidal, pure antiandrogen; it is a racemate with antiandrogenic activity residing predominantly in the (R)-enantiomer.

The synthesis of the enantiomers of Vulcanolide ¾ ((AE)-7) is described, the strongest musk odorant among hundreds of structurally related analogues, by resolution of an intermediate. To this end, we devised a new route which involves the temporary introduction of a modulable functional group in the
