General description

Camphene is an organic plastic type of crystal, which can be commonly used as an industrial intermediate compound for the production of commercial chemicals like camphor, isobornyl acetate and isoborneol. It can be obtained, via isomerization of alpha-pinene over acidic titanium dioxide catalyst.
Camphene offers an extensive and rapidly growing portfolio of analytical standards of active ingredients and marker compounds for a wide range medicinal plants used in herbal medicinal products, nutraceuticals and research. Camphene, a cyclic monoterpene is identified as an important constituent of the essential oils of Piper hymenophyllum Miq, Apiaceae species, Xanthium strumarium L., etc. It is also reportedly known as a fragrance ingredient in Rosa hybrida, Stanhopea orchid species, etc. Camphene is reported to be used in perfume industry with its natural source being Lamiaceae (Satureja douglasii).

Application

Camphene may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in Rosa hybrida and fish samples using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
