General description

Camphene is abicyclic monoterpene and a constituent of many essential oils derived fromvarious plants such as Alpinia speciosa, Xanthium strumariumleaves, needles of Pinus uncinata, and Pinus uliginosa.(5)

Application

Camphene can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Isobornyl carboxylates by silica-supported tungstophosphoric acid-catalyzed liquid-phase esterification of C2-C6 fatty acids.
  • Hydroaminated camphene via intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination reaction with N-hydroxyphthalimide and triethyl phosphite in the presence of dilauroyl peroxide as an initiator.
  • Camphene oxide via methyltrioxorhenium-catalyzed epoxidation in the presence of H2O2 as an oxidant and pyrazole as a Lewis base adduct.
  • Isobornyl alkyl ethers using alcohols via cation exchange resin-catalyzed alkoxylation.
