(+)-CAMPHENE Usage And Synthesis

Physical properties

Camphene is a colorless, crumbly crystalline solid with a camphor-like odor. It has a tendency to sublime.

Uses

(+)-Camphene is part of a mixture which is responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect of essential oil from Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl.

Production Methods

The extraction of camphene by distillation of turpentine is now hardly used in industry. Instead camphene is produced from a-pinene.

Definition

ChEBI: A camphene (2,2-dimethyl-3-methylenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) that has R configuration at position 1 and S configuration at position 4.

Chemical Reactivity

Camphene is stable in air and light. At elevated temperatures, in the presence of oxygen, it undergoes autoxidation to camphenilone. Peracids attack the double bond, giving camphene oxide. Catalytic hydrogenation gives the saturated hydrocarbon isocamphane.
