CAS 76-22-2

(±)-Camphor

Description:

(±)-Camphor, with the CAS number 76-22-2, is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone that is derived from the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) and can also be synthesized from other sources. It appears as a white crystalline solid with a characteristic aromatic odor. Camphor is known for its distinctive cooling sensation and is used in various applications, including medicinal, culinary, and cosmetic products. It exhibits a melting point around room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound possesses both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a common ingredient in topical ointments and rubs. Additionally, (±)-Camphor has been utilized in traditional medicine and is recognized for its potential as a natural insect repellent. Its chiral nature means it exists in two enantiomeric forms, but the racemic mixture is often used in commercial applications. Safety considerations include potential skin irritation and toxicity at high doses, necessitating careful handling.

Camphor

CAS: 76-22-2

Camphor is a natural compound that has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent. Camphor has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to the bacterial membrane, inhibiting electron transport and leading to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Camphor also inhibits the growth of cancer cells in experimental models. Camphor can be used as an antimicrobial in wastewater treatment and as an insect repellent for skin protection. Camphor is also used in x-ray crystallography to determine structures of proteins and other organic molecules with high electron density such as benzalkonium chloride.
