General description

Camphene is abicyclic monoterpene and a constituent of many essential oils derived fromvarious plants such as Alpinia speciosa, Xanthium strumariumleaves, needles of Pinus uncinata, and Pinus uliginosa.(5)

Application

Camphene can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Isobornyl carboxylates by silica-supported tungstophosphoric acid-catalyzed liquid-phase esterification of C2-C6 fatty acids.
  • Hydroaminated camphene via intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination reaction with N-hydroxyphthalimide and triethyl phosphite in the presence of dilauroyl peroxide as an initiator.
  • Camphene oxide via methyltrioxorhenium-catalyzed epoxidation in the presence of H2O2 as an oxidant and pyrazole as a Lewis base adduct.
  • Isobornyl alkyl ethers using alcohols via cation exchange resin-catalyzed alkoxylation.

The compositions of mountain pine (Pinus uncinata) and peat-bog pine (P. uliginosa) needle essential oils were investigated. Enantiomeric compositions of selected monoterpene hydrocarbons were also examined. Respectively, fifty-three and seventy-six components of the essential oils were identified using GC-MS and

Based on quantum chemical studies, mechanisms to form bornyl diphosphate from geranyl diphosphate are suggested. While bornyl diphosphate is usually proposed to be generated via combination of the pyrophosphate group with a secondary bornyl cation, quantum chemical computations indicate that
