DL-CAMPHORIC ANHYDRIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white fine crystalline powder

Uses

(+/-)-Camphoric anhydride is useful in the synthesis of aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters. It is also used as pharmaceutical intermediates.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the anhydride from EtOH. If it contains too much of the acid (by IR), then reflux it in Ac2O, concentrate and collect the crystals, wash them with pet ether and dry them. [Bunton et al J Chem Soc 2918 1963, NMR: Baker & Davis Tetrahedron 24 1663 1968, Beilstein 18 H 400, 401.]
