DL-Camphor Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

A white crystalline powder or a colorless translucent lump, with a pungent odor, acrid at first, cool afterward, volatile at room temperature, easily soluble in ethanol, fatty oil or volatile oil, and very slightly soluble in water . Camphor has a weak antiseptic effect.

Definition

ChEBI: Camphor is a cyclic monoterpene ketone that is bornane bearing an oxo substituent at position 2. A naturally occurring monoterpenoid. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a bornane monoterpenoid and a cyclic monoterpene ketone.

Synthesis

DL-Camphor is prepared by reacting borneol With cyclopentadiene catalysted by palladium and rhodium.
