Camphor is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H16O. It is a bicyclic monoterpene that belongs to the norbornane family, characterized by three added methyl groups. This substance forms colorless hexagonal platelet crystals and is known for its fragrant, penetrating odor. Camphor is sublimable, meaning it can transition directly from a solid to a gas under certain conditions.
While not typically handled as a standalone product, camphor is often sold as camphor acid chloride for use as a reagent. Under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, camphor is classified as a substance that is corrosive to metals and an irritant to the skin and eyes.
Camphor, as a well-known bicyclic monoterpene skeleton, is the basis for many naturally occurring compounds. Its various physiological effects, such as enhancing blood circulation, providing analgesia, and reducing inflammation, are noteworthy. These properties are attributed to the bicyclic monoterpene compounds derived from the camphor skeleton.
Although the direct use of camphor in its pure form is quite limited, significant research has been conducted on its derivatives, including norbornene and norbornane compounds, and other monoterpene compounds. These studies focus on exploring their diverse bioactivities and potential applications.
