Basic Information

Definition: Synthetic borneol is an artificially synthesized terpenoid compound.
Its main component is borneol, often used as a substitute for natural borneol.
Appearance: Usually appears as white crystalline powder or flakes, fine-textured and icy to touch.
Odor: Has a unique camphor-like smell, fresh and highly recognizable, giving a cool feeling.
Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents like ethanol, ether and chloroform, less in water.
Stability: Relatively stable under normal temperature and pressure, avoid strong oxidants.

Chemical Synthesis

Generally uses turpentine as raw material, made via isomerization, etc.
First isomerize pinene in turpentine to camphene, then esterify.
Finally, hydrolyze through saponification to get synthetic borneol.
Biosynthesis:
Uses microorganisms or enzymes to biotransform specific compounds.
But biosynthesis is still under research, large-scale tech needs improvement.
