(±)-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.

Camphene is a sesquiterpene lactone that is found in many plants and has been used in traditional medicine. Camphene is an organic compound that has the chemical formula of C10H16. It can be synthesized from limonene, which is a hydrocarbon derivative of pinene. Camphene is used as a solvent for dyes, resins, and waxes and as a precursor to other organic compounds. This compound also has kinetic data for hydrochloric acid and water vapor. Camphene has shown to have antioxidant properties via its ability to increase mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibit dehydrocostus lactone production. The surface methodology of camphene includes high values for emissions (i.e., low toxicity).
