Synthesis route :

Camphor is produced by a fractional distillation of Camphor Leaf EO. Its synthesis is made by dehydration of isoborneol, which has been synthesized from Isobornyl Acetate. This dehydrogenation is done thanks to a copper catalysis.

Synthesis precursor :

Camphor is an intermediate in the synthesis of Camphene and Borneol, among others.

Isomerism :

There are two enantiomers of Camphor, both very present in nature. The most common is Camphor (+), dextrorotatory. It is very often this one that is used in perfumery. Citral and Isocyclocitral® are constitutional isomers of Camphor. Their smell is however very different: one is citraly, the other is green.

Natural availability :

Camphor is found in many plants such as basil (camphorated chemotype), camphor sage and Cardamom EO among others. The Camphor tree HE (same species as HoWood EO) remains its main source in its natural state.

Uses in perfumery :

Camphor is used for a fresh and terpenic effect in all types of compositions.

Other names :

1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, alphanon, bornan-2-one, 2-oxo-bornane, 2-bornanone, 2-camphanone, root bark oil, 1,7,7-trimethyl norcamphor, 1,7,7-trimethylnorbornan-2-one

Other comments :

Camphor is a 'trigeminal' raw material. This means that it involves the trigeminal nerve, responsible for a motor and sensitive function for humans. In the case of Camphor, smelling it gives the nose a sensation of cold.
