The molecular surfaces of dierent sandalwood odour molecules have been investigated and compared with a group of structurally related substances without this odour impression to get more information about osmophoric regions. This has been done with the help of a new algorithm in a surface comparison

β¦ Synopsis
Molecular surface comparison seems to be a very suitable tool for the investigation of small differences between biologically active and inactive compounds of the same structural type. A fast method for such comparisons, based on volume matching followed by the estimation of comparable surface dots, is presented and applied on a few selected sandalwood odour molecules.

## Abstract The calculated molecular surfaces for some Sandalwoodβodor molecules and structurally similar inactive compounds were compared with the calculated mean surface obtained from five Sandalwood odorants included in the set, and their individual agreement and deviations were estimated. Espec
