What is (+)-CAMPHENE?
Physical properties
Camphene is a colorless, crumbly crystalline solid with a camphor-like odor. It has a tendency to sublime.
The Uses of (+)-CAMPHENE
(+)-Camphene is part of a mixture which is responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect of essential oil from Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl.
Definition
ChEBI: A camphene (2,2-dimethyl-3-methylenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) that has R configuration at position 1 and S configuration at position 4.
Production Methods
The extraction of camphene by distillation of turpentine is now hardly used in industry. Instead camphene is produced from a-pinene.
Chemical Reactivity
Camphene is stable in air and light. At elevated temperatures, in the presence of oxygen, it undergoes autoxidation to camphenilone. Peracids attack the double bond, giving camphene oxide. Catalytic hydrogenation gives the saturated hydrocarbon isocamphane.
