Definition

Synthetic camphor is an organic compound made by chemical synthesis, similar in structure and properties to natural camphor.
Appearance: Usually colorless or white crystalline powder or lumps, glossy and translucent.
Odor: Has a typical camphor smell, strong, pungent and cool, highly recognizable.
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, etc.
Stability: Stable under normal temperature and pressure, may burn in high heat or with open fire, react with strong oxidants.

Production Methods

Turpentine Method:
Take pinene in turpentine as main raw material, get camphene by isomerization.
Camphene undergoes hydration to form isoborneol, then dehydrogenation for synthetic camphor.
Isobutylene – Formaldehyde Method:
Use isobutylene and formaldehyde to form isoprene by condensation with a catalyst.
Isoprene synthesizes camphor through cyclization, oxidation and other reactions.
