Description

Bornane CAS NO 464-15-3 is a saturated bicyclic organic compound, specifically a bridged bicyclic hydrocarbon, which serves as the core structural framework for camphor. Its high volatility and defined stereochemistry make it a valuable intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical synthesis. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fragrance, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries who require high-purity, structurally defined building blocks for complex molecule development.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of camphor derivatives, terpenoids, and other complex bicyclic compounds.
• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used as a precursor in the production of synthetic camphor and related aroma chemicals for perfumes, soaps, and air fresheners.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a chiral scaffold or a model compound in medicinal chemistry for developing new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in gas chromatography (GC) and other analytical methods for identification and quantification.
• Organic Chemistry Research: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D to study stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, and the properties of bridged ring systems.
• Specialty Solvents and Additives: Potential use in formulating high-performance solvents or as an additive in specialty industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Bornane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as identity, purity, and impurity profiles. For customers with specific regulatory or application needs, we can discuss compliance with relevant standards or custom testing protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term storage, consider using sealed containers under an inert atmosphere to prevent potential oxidation.
