Description

(+)-Camphene CAS NO 5794-03-6 is a high-purity, naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpene with a distinctive woody, pine-like aroma. This compound is a crucial chiral intermediate and fragrance ingredient valued for its specific stereochemistry and organoleptic properties. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates, and agrochemical synthesis sectors seeking a reliable, high-quality source.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A key component in the formulation of woody, pine, and camphoraceous notes for perfumes, soaps, detergents, and air fresheners, as well as a flavoring agent.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used as a starting material or intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides.
• Industrial Chemistry: Acts as a precursor in organic synthesis for the manufacture of camphor, plasticizers, and other specialty chemicals.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and academic research studies.

Quality Control

Our (+)-Camphene is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including GC, chiral HPLC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess meet stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
