CAS 21368-68-3: (±)-Camphor

Description: (±)-Camphor is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone with the molecular formula C10H16O. It is a colorless or white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor, often associated with its use in medicinal and aromatic applications. The substance exhibits a melting point around room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. (±)-Camphor is known for its distinctive cooling sensation and is commonly used in topical analgesics, cough suppressants, and as a flavoring agent. It possesses both enantiomers, which means it can exist in two mirror-image forms, contributing to its diverse applications. The compound is also recognized for its potential as a natural insect repellent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, (±)-Camphor has been studied for its effects on the central nervous system and its potential therapeutic properties, although safety and efficacy should always be considered in its use.
