(±)-Camphene

Description:
(±)-Camphene is a bicyclic monoterpene with the molecular formula C10H16, known for its distinctive camphor-like odor. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. (±)-Camphene has a boiling point in the range of 160-162°C and a density of approximately 0.87 g/cm³. This compound is characterized by its unique structure, featuring a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane framework, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications. It is commonly used in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, (±)-Camphene can be found in essential oils and is produced naturally by various plants. Its optical activity is due to the presence of chiral centers, leading to the designation of (±) to indicate a racemic mixture of enantiomers. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential irritant properties, necessitating proper handling and storage.
