ISOBORNYL FORMATE Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

ISOBORNYL FORMATE has green-earthy, herbaceous-camphoraceous odor, more piney than that of the Bornyl formate, and more camphor-like, less nutlike. Suggested for use in fruit flavors, and although this ester does have a sweet taste similar to that of Bornyl formate, it is overall less fruity or attractive. The use in fruit flavors amounts to a few ppm in the finished product (traces).

Description

Isobornyl formate has a characteristic aromatic, pine needles odor. May be prepared by reaction of formic acid with camphene in the presence of a catalyst; also in the absence of a catalyst; the resulting products do not exhibit well-defined optical characteristics. The corresponding optically active esters have been prepared from d- or ι-camphene and formic acid in the presence of phthalic anhydride.

Chemical Properties

Isobornyl formate has a characteristic aromatic, pine needles odor.

Preparation

By reaction of formic acid with camphene in the presence of a catalyst; also in the absence of a catalyst; the resulting products do not exhibit well-defined optical characteristics. The corresponding optically active esters have been prepared from d- or l-camphene and formic acid in the presence of phthalic anhydride

Definition

ChEBI: Isobornyl formate is a bornane monoterpenoid that is isoborneol in which the hydroxy hydrogen has been replaced by a formyl group. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a bornane monoterpenoid, a bridged compound and a formate ester. It is functionally related to a borneol.
