Camphene Usage


Chemical Properties

WHITE CRYSTALLINE LOW MELTING SOLID

Chemical Properties

Camphene is a colorless to white crystalline solid, Camphor, or turpentine odor. It may be shipped as a liquid. Freezing/Melting point 5 50


C.

Chemical Properties

Camphene has a terpene, camphoraceous taste.

Uses

Manufacture of synthetic camphor, camphor substitute.

Preparation

From pinene by catalytic isomerization or from bornyl chloride by heating with alkali in the presence of abietenesulfonic acid.

Definition

ChEBI: A monoterpene with a bicyclic skeleton that is bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane substituted by geminal methyl groups at position 2 and a methylidene group at position 3. It is a widespread natural product found in many essential oils.

Aroma threshold values

Detection at 10%: camphoraceous, cooling, piney woody with terphy nuances. It has citrus and green minty and green spicy notes.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 50–100 ppm: camphoraceous, cooling, minty, with citrus and green spicy nuances.

General Description

A colorless to white crystalline solid with an insipid camphor-like odor. Dust and crystals are irritants to the eyes, nose and throat. Emits flammable vapors when heated. Emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes at high temperature. Used for the manufacture of synthetic camphor.

Reactivity Profile

Camphene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion.

Health Hazard

Inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation.

Anticancer Research

This was tested against melanoma cells in a syngeneic model, and there was promisingantitumor activity (Ma et al. 2016).

Safety Profile

Mutation data reported. Combustible; yields flammable vapors when heated and can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water spray, foam, fog, CO2. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Potential Exposure

Camphene is used to manufacture synthetic camphor; for making moth-proofing and in the cosmetics, perfume, and food flavoring industries.

Shipping

UN1325 Flammable solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 4.1; Labels: 4.1-Flammable solid. UN2319 Terpene hydrocarbons, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3- Flammable liquid

Incompatibilities

Forms explosive mixture with air. Emulsions in xylene may violently decompose on contact with iron or aluminum above 70


C. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Contact with reducing agents may cause exothermic reaction, releasing flammable hydrogen gas

Waste Disposal

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
